    personal bathing has next to no environmental impact outside of an acute drought in an arid region. industrial & agricultural & recreation outstrip all personal use by hilarious margins but the bourgois state can't tell the millionaires to cut their use down so they pretend its on us.

    take showers and flush yellow & leave the sink running while brushing. kill golfers.

      It's about energy use, not water use, FWIW. And there really seems to be a (primarily US ?) leftist insistence that, because a significant amount of emissions come from the top 1% that regular people living in the West need to adjust absolutely nothing about their personal consumption. The numbers don't really bear that out though.

      There's also a very "can't someone else do it?" clinging to treats, like yes in a perfect world the carbon crisis would be dealt with by responsible government bodies addressing the problem through an Eco-Leninist lens, but absent that actually happening we still have a responsibility to do our part where we can.

        you shouldn't overuse water to own the libs (waterbill, hello?). i guess that joke needed a disclaimer

        "clinging to treats" is not fucking cleaning yourself and washing shit, or need i remind you, drinking it. scolding over it is still libshit in the highest.
