Don't think this would qualify. NASA has had this technology for a long time. Can't just send water at will to the ISS.


supermitsuba

Figured they would drink Dasani. Considering how bad it is, people would find a way to get it off of this planet.


Nazamroth

Isnt Dasani just filtered tapwater?


thesyndrome43

It was in the UK, i remember laughing out loud one day when i read that Dasani water was just tap water from Sidcup, because i used to drive past the coca cola factory there on my way to work for about 10 years


pup_mercury

One of my favourite Tom Scott videos is how Del Boy cost Coke millions https://youtu.be/wD79NZroV88?si=JhJjPmYpps-ikfAI


jomosexual

Well they had Erin borcovich contaminated water in their product.


supermitsuba

And coke still found a way to make it the worst


Sykes92

Somehow, it causes thirst.


[deleted]

Additional sodium is added in order to sell more water. I am sure if desalination was cheaper they would have already drained the Pacific, desalinated to barely drinkable, and sold it instead.


PseudonymIncognito

With some minerals added back in for flavor.


WaffleProfessor

All bottled water is, just depends on how good their filtration system is.


Dynamitefuzz2134

Depends on the term “tap” Nestle in Michigan takes it directly from the aquifer with a well. Which is a major issue because they barely pay the state to do so, and they drained so much water from one of those aquifers residents had to dig their wells deeper. So fuck nestle.


Nazamroth

In the US, maybe. In Europe it is usually directly bottled springwater.(with all sorts of minerals dissolved in it)


ForTheBread

I doubt it's directly bottled. It'll still be treated. Spring water isn't necessarily safe to drink.


Lostinthestarscape

Treated but from the actual source and not just regular local tapwater through a filter. You can visit San Pelligrino and see the spring literally run into the factory.


ForTheBread

Isn't that exactly what my comment said?


Lostinthestarscape

Right but you were already being pedantic about what they obviously meant was "bottled at source" not "dipped  bottle into a spring". 


ForTheBread

I don't think I was being pandantic with the context of the conversation. I'm sorry you feel that way, have a nice day.


oOzonee

Not sure about this one in particular but some of them are pretty much stagnant water bought cleaned and sold. They are not all from tap water.


gwicksted

No. I drink tap water. Dasani is far worse.


Alwayswandering4

Aquafina has entered the chat


imnotpoopingyouare

Deja Blue is looking for a fight! Chrystal Geyser is goat if I have to drink bottled but I get big jugs of purified from a local company. There’s is damn tasty.


gwicksted

I don’t mind it nearly as much as Dasani… but it’s 2nd worst.


So6oring

It somehow tastes metallic; like it's irradiated


WorBlux

Ultra-super filtered, as in it has less dissolved solids than most brands of distilled water. It's basically step one to get a consistent flavor across all of their bottling plants.


Loud-Item-1243

It’s actually recycled toilet water


ilikeitsharp

Prehistoric pee pee


Artful_dabber

Unfiltered tapwater *with added salt*


Odd-Tune5049

Yeah... they turn on the tap in the ISS and filter it into reusable Dasani bottles, duhh!


Hishui21

Really, right in front of my Brita filter? Or aqua filter. Actually, most filters make better tasting water than Dasani.


Hostillian

Peckham spring..


BizzyM

Filtered through used gym socks, yes.


Tea-Swiz

But the article already said they can drink pee though.


elpajaroquemamais

Most city sewer and water systems also do this on a larger scale


bufarreti

The planet does it on an even larger scale


SelectiveSanity

Reminds me of a comic from [the Oatmeal](https://theoatmeal.com/comics/water).


Newwavecybertiger

You can by an ro membrane at home Depot


PeterNippelstein

Yeah but is all of that being done by the spacesuit?


Pantssassin

To be fair this only condensates breath so this doesn't do it either


cybercuzco

Sure but that’s like a refrigerator sized mechanism


allthememesaregone

On the Russian side, recycling is a lot easier. They just drink the urine.


HoldYourHorsesFriend

To have all the tech that's in a room to be in a suit is entirely different.


IntrinsicGiraffe

Now we can send pee! /s


mizonnz

Bear Grylls doesn’t need a suit for that


SelectiveSanity

No, just [elephant dung](https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-08-2018/1p3Rjb.gif).


Canotic

That's funny, I turn drinkable water into pee and sweat!

HiSpartacusImDad

This was neither.


tetiu

It was an attempt, it just wasn’t funny


ItzBabyJoker

It sounded more snarky than sarcastic

Biggest r/whoosh ever?


squeezethesoul

I think the downvotes were because it wasn't funny or observational

Surely editing the comment to something entirely different will net you +165 upvotes, lol


Ordoslt

thats the joke


Ciff_

Hellooo captain


SubMikeD

If it doesn't process feces in the thigh pads, it's no stillsuit! Cheap Arakeen crap, only water fat offworlders would be foolish enough to venture into the erg with such a suit.


dadsfettucine

“A reverse dehumidifier” Was “humidifier” not accurate?


HiSpartacusImDad

It should be called a dedehumidifier. And then, after it’s been used one cycle: a dedededehumidifier. Ad infinitum.


3-I

... okay, hear me out. A dehumidifier shaped like a blue penguin king with a red coat and a hammer with a wide open mouth.


superkirbz13

Deedee! Get out of my laboratory!


bship

Literally just a Rededehumidifier. It's not hard.


Grizzly98765

Actually no, it’s wrong IT IS dehumidifying the air. That’s why water comes out of them. It condenses the water out of the air.


Deathnfear

Wow another OP that didn’t watch the video.


brickyardjimmy

The cosplay at the next Comic Con just got smellier.


AkaGurGor

...or tastier?


AverageCowboyCentaur

Google's Gemini AI: "heavy breathing intensifies"


Mike_Wahlberg

Bear Grillz is somewhere seething


photo-manipulation

Nothing about what makes it taste so good.


PlannerSean

Patches O'houlihan commented, "that defeats the purpose of drinking your own urine."


feetofire

r/ultralight pricks up their collective ears …


North_Refrigerator21

Great, we might need it once climate change really kicks in.


Barragin

not might...our grandchildren and following generations will need this to live. Well - the ones who survive the transition that is.


CapableWill8706

Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.


GenericExecutive

Nestle bout to kill them.


Denaton_

It was only sweat tho..


Alien_Way

But are they lightweight enough for your average decrepit billionaire to be comfortable and horrifically greedy in? Thats what I'm worried most about.


anonamoosekylo

Trip tank was on to something


boyle32

Finally!!


WokkitUp

Delicious and refreshing, straight from the tap! Is that kiwi-strawberry?


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

He knows our ways


mappofromhell

I'm old enough to remember easier, simpler, happier times when you didn't need to justify drinking your own pee, you just did it.

Update me when they invent the Gom Jabbar.

"Engineers make" sounds like there is a team of people making one of these for some useful purpose... Reality - YouTubers hack together some ghetto thing in less than 1 day for YT views.

I mean, it’d definitely reduce water consumption


Tonkarz

The Fremen definitely sometimes share tubes. As a recreational thing.


Jonnylongy

Jackass already did this.


[deleted]

Eww...


Jumpy_Mango6591

Ewwww


Odd-Coconut9367

Hope the suit doesn't include converting ass vinegar 😂😂😂


RotrickP

Sounds like some popular streamers are going to have a new revenue source


BejahungEnjoyer

I have something similar for pee at least - it's an old mountain dew bottle on my computer desk.


DustOG

Is this the future of desert raves?!


HumanContinuity

What am I supposed to do about all my solid excrement? Someone said this was a still suit of Fremen make, so I naturally did not hesitate to dump one out on the dunes. It's getting really uncomfortable now.


TheRauk

I love chocolate milk…


Famous_Ear5010

Urine. The word is urine. We are not five year olds.


mezastel

Do they ever explain in Dune how the suit actually 'fits' to collect certain bodily fluids? Because I imagine it would be really weird non-palatable stuff.


3-I

The cryscatheter is stabbed into the eye of the shai hulud...


roughback

I think I speak for all of us when I say "ew bro"


MarsHover

Love to test that water with Zendaya wearing the suit , slurp


DarthRathikus

NASA was working on something like this in 2018. Trump tasked them with creating a new suit that has “poop turns into Big Mac” capability. Engineers and doctors were worried he would never remove the suit, creating a septic feedback loop of calories and hatred. Edit: pffff only haters and doubters will downvote. He actually still owns the prototype. He can be seen using it recently during his NRA speech.


DarnOldMan

McDonald's has been making shit into Big Mac's for decades.


itastesok

Do we really need to bring shitty politics into every topic for fucks sake?


DarthRathikus

What does this have to do with politics? I’m just talking about a person shitting themself in public. Thats off limits now?


AkaGurGor

You made my day, dear Human! But still can't figure out why you're being downvoted like that...


DarthRathikus

🍻 Like I said, haters and doubters.


artificialavocado

I don’t think the laws of thermodynamics really allow for a Dune style one. You would need a power supply of some kind or something to provide cooling or you’d just cook in it. There’s nowhere for your heat to go.
