Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Seems like you are being a dick because someone else didn't know that this was something that could only be used in emergency situations and nobody plans for those. I mean you could have said 'filter straws are a better option if you are planning ahead' if this method is worse, but I bet you feel a lot better having trash talked someone for not being aware of some additional context not present in the OP.
Seems like you doubled down on an ignorant statement when you were provided context.
You could have cut bait and kept your mouth shut, but I bet you feel a lot better having tried to shore up a bad position instead of just taking on the new information and moving on.
I didn't double down on anything. I pointed out not being aware of knowledge being the reason for asking a question.
You are doubling down on being a jerk though.
I don't understand how you thought this guy was being a dick just because he said "fucking stupid"...are you really that sensitive? He's right. Keeping some clear plastic on you at all times, because one day you might have a 0.000001% chance that you need to use it to obtain fresh water...is stupid. It's fucking stupid.
There's plenty of plastic already freely available out in the environment already! You'd only be adding another piece of plastic!
Unless you ... bring it outside of the environment....
Of course not, what a stupid fucking question.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills...
