What does distilled sea water taste like
aww man you had to ask the most difficult question huh
i feel like, maybe it's not the same for everyone
and maybe it's different if you are not on a boat, or on a boat that is not the boat i was on, but like
to me it
okay to start, the thing with the water, right, is that all our fresh water came from the ocean. like it was not hauled on board, there was no fresh water to start, it is all pulled up and boiled and then that water vapor is put into the tank and used for showers, sinks, toilets, and, obviously, drinking and cooking etc
right so it's just plain H2O, no electrolytes, no fluoride, no whatever the fuck right it's just. water molecules lol
but it's water that came from the ocean right so like
it tastes like water, at first (if u have ever ingested clean river water i would say even that might give u an idea), but there is an aftertaste that's like
the way that standing on a beach in the northern pacific smells. cannot be clearer than that, i'm afraid.
there's like, eau de seaweed but no but yes but no
drinking water when i got back was very strange and i am now hyper aware of how all water tastes (and i was already a picky water drinker so this is a problem lol) and sometimes i miss it. it's weird.
#i'm sure that if i had been in the atlantic it would have been different but#i'm very familiar with a specific smell like u know when ur on a beach and there is seaweed or dense algae content in the water#gives u a lil bit of that#and like there's so much shit in the ocean i did not even post all the plankton we caught bc it would have taken a hundred years but#the ocean is just lousy with stuff u know#god my kingdom for a giant diatom colony right now i miss them#that's unrelated just a passing thought#anyway i hope this helps lol#also thinking about it because if i was dirk i would probably have an aversion to water if this was all i knew#and not because it's terrible because i guzzled the stuff don't get me wrong but#because he had other things to drink right so why the fuck would u not drink the other things when the alternative is literally#waves hand#and who knows what was running through those pipes man#anyway just some thoughts i suppose#sorry i'm still rambling sorry
