Drink toilet water?

[WhatCanYouDo]

Am I dumb or is it the game?

I mean like it is common knowledge by not drinking or eating unclean food and water. However why can you drink toilet water in game and not getting sick by E.coli or something? I mean they exists in the lower intestine which is fine, but if we get that bacteria in our stomach it could cause food poisoning.

By the way, when I saw that I could pick up water from the toilet in game I did not do it because I thought it would be unclean. However when I ran low on water and saw it was like 2L of it I checked my inventory and I could drink it. I was like "watafak I can drink toilet water, omg all the toilets I have passed" just because I thought it was unclean and did not bother with it.

Not all "toilet-water" toilets in game have a cistern. In those ones, you are definitely collecting water from the bowl.

But it´s still considered "safe" water in-game, isn´t it? Anyway, in a dire survival situation as this game represents, well.....one should give it a go. Imagine it´s a beer.

I will post this story, again, for about the 20th time on these forums... this man had a stroke, in his bathroom, could not move, and used the small ceramic bolt cover from hos toilet to scoop water from the bowl for a week, until somone found him.

He did not get food poisoning (which generally salmonella, not e. coli), an e. coli or fecal coliform infection, dysentery or any other . It saved his life. 10/10 would drink toilet water in a life threatenting emergency... as long as I had not used bleach to clean the toilet bowl just prior. That WILL likely kill you, in an unpleasant way...

Maybe the bigger question should be, how safe is that canned dog food, that we may be contemplating or willing to eat in a survival situation?

U will drink the water from the toilet and U will like it, or U will get the hose again! Oh, wait... XD

Yep if you tolerate dog food i´m shure you can deal with water from the toilet too. ok i admit that if i have the chance i would still cook the water first but anyway. If its a life or death situation EVERYBODY would drink out of it. btw i´m shure if you havn´t eat for 5 days dog food will taste like the best meal you ever had in your life.

There, there. I think the lesson to take away from all of this is that classic quote: "If life gives you dog food and toilet water... make a stew?"

Well I think its safe to eat dog canned food because why should it be any different from our food on canned? Anyway I have 2 cats and I have tasted their food and it is just dry biscuit that is formed into tiny small cubes. It is not the most delicious food you can eat, but I too think it is probably the best meal you have ever had when been without food for 5 days.

Among other sketchy things about what's in your dog food:

In my country Definiton of clean water by Nation law is totally clean in US water does not have that protection that means you can give sewage water to population in us and still call it drinkable and thats funny to us Europeans Ps toilet water here is tapwater totally clean and perfecttly safe to drink Canada have same protection as europe of its water.

In Northern Canada, toilet water is considered a great delicacy. People keep their toilets very clean so that they can serve the toilet water to guests on holidays and other special occasions.

Well to be honest I also feel guilty for killing hare. When you throw rocks at them, knock them out, run up to them, pick them up and they look at you "why i just want to live" and that innocent face with the light voice and then you decide to either let it go or snap the neck.

Nope...I never them them go.

This whole thread stinks, it's a bunch of crap. ;) (Pun maybe intended)

Yep, I'd probably drink toilet water if I had to. :D Reminds me of the time I almost drank water from a creek that was 90% run off from the road. Wonder how many STDs and needles were in that water...

Certainly tastes like one. ;)

Yes, toilet bowl water in TLD is considered potable.

Talking about Scandinavia, I have heard the saunas are amongst the cleanest places where even children were born in the past. That makes me think, why did the cold born northern Canadians (as in the long dark) did never come up with the concept of a sauna (or perhaps they did?).

What a cozy place to be during the blizzard outside ;)

ok I am derailing now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sauna's are heated either geothermically, or by coal, correct?

I don't think there is a single geothermic hotspring anywhere on Great Bear Island.
