firm believe that not everything happens for a reason, sometimes things are just cruel. and they shouldn’t have happened and it’s not supposed to be a lesson because we never deserved such thing.

hm some people in my inbox got really mad at this specifically. nothing you can say will convince me that some of the pain and suffering we go through is our “fate” no, it isn’t

coworker: hey you should come look at the results of a ph test for a customer’s water

me: I’m king of busy rn

coworker: no really just come here

the ph test:

my honest reaction:

[teaboot]

I dont k ow what OP is testing for or what most of the table says but whatever water they've sampled it has the same PH levels as seawater and there's enough mineral content for stalagmites to form inside the sample container. If line 2 is nitrates- the stuff produced by dead junk- then there's enough of it to make them sick.

So like. Whatever this is, and I hope to God it isn't someone's tap water, then as far as my untrained brain can tell, it is reading as a sample pulled from an unfiltered saltwater fish tank that someone filled with street gravel and didn't clean for a month.

Or like. The groundwater well behind an abandoned farm house in Missouri that hasn't been touched since 1953, possibly after a raccoon fell inside it

This is the kind of water you'd read about in an old dead British guy's expedition journal in an entry dated two days before the entire party died of dysentery

our house... in the middle of our leaves¹

¹This is a humourous riff on the lyrics to the song "Our House" by the English ska-pop band, Madness. "Our House" is considered a working class anthem, which contrasts the bourgeoisie lifestyle of the Navidson family.²

²Alright, while the music stuff is factually correct it's still a huge stretch to connect the song and the family this way. Sometimes a corny joke is just a corny joke.
