It's ghost cats. I can't leave water glasses where my live cat can get to them, because he'll dunk his paw in them. Ghost cats do the same thing.

I knew it! Casper pees in all the glasses!

it's actually because of all those ghosts of the dead bugs floating around.

No, the ghosts just pee in it

Water left in the car overnight can be delicious the following day...assuming it's cold out.

They change the taste of water every day slightly and they also change your tastebuds so if you drink the wrong day’s water there’s a mismatch

This also happens if you try to drink tomorrow’s water today

My uncle works at Water and he says you’re completely right

I can't believe you're just giving away proprietary secrets like that.

I fuckin knew it

Dude, anyone can say their uncle works at Water, he's probably lying.

It's all a conspiracy by Big Water to sell new water every day.

No shit! Like, I just bought water yesterday, fellas - I'm good. It's like they expect me to believe it's gonna evaporate into thin air.

Schwaaa…?!

For a short time, I lived in a house with tap water that tasted of nothing. Not in the same way distilled/deionised water tastes. Nothing. Like it exactly matched how my mouth tasted or something. Bizarre experience, never replicated it.

Because chlorine evaporation is supernatural? The maga cult fascists have figured how to make science go backwards!

That's funny. Or maybe it's your mouth that gets haunted. 👻

🤣🤣🤣

As depicted in the documentary Signs.

I say that to myself when I leave water out too long. Can't drink it now. it's got amoebas in it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think this is only true when it's room temperature. Ice water forces ghosts to wade in slowly, so it tastes better longer.

Water's haunted 🔫

Truth

I'll bet you can find an Exorcistic Strainer on eBay.

I think I learned that in a Trump University Science course. 🤔

This is why it's so important to keep a glass of water on your nightstand--so that it gets haunted overnight, instead of you.

. . . and I loooooooove chugging ghosts

100% correct.

This is true. It gets haunted by carbon dioxide 👻, which the water absorbs when it's left in a glass overnight, and which reacts with the water to form carbonic acid and lower the water's pH, which changes the taste.

Tis all a checkerboard with dodgy water That ghosts show no restraint in, & so taint in Tho they know they oughtnt orter.

Did you say haunted?

had to check mine for spiders they like the coffee best

I'm haunted by your statement.

chlorine evaporates first then the ghosts can get in ghosts hate chlorine that y u never see them in a public pool

Love it.

I was gonna say that I just learned this trying to figure out what works for watering a Venus flytrap hahaha It didn’t mention ghosts, but good to know.

Oh no, what happens when you water a Venus Flytrap with haunted water?

I thought it was something about aliens?

All the dead bacteria. And new live bacteria.

this whole thread is cursed. every last message of you

I like drinking with ghosts. The dead understand me

I would be such a glass of water-type ghost. That sounds like so much fun.

Morgan took a sip and now it has amoebas in it.

This is untrue! Science has proven that ghosts probably aren't real and the cause of bad overnight water is, in fact, farting spiders

They fart constantly, but rarely in water.

Signs (2002)

My morning water tastes bad because my cat drank half of it after licking himself all night.

Water in a glass ripens at like 3am, and rots by 10.

Too true!

So, water in a glass ripens like pears, or avocados?

I keep water in a metal water bottle. Morning water is the best

We have to check if it's tequila

No no it's because the cat has been dipping it's paw in it

I like spirits in my glass of water though.

Should I drink it anyway?..

Yep, that dusty taste is ghosts.

Hmm 🤔 Who'd of thunk it? 🤷‍♂️

I knew it!!!!

It's backwash from spiders and silver fish by then.

This tracks because I’m always scared after I drink my night glass of water and it’s warm

one time I went to drink from a glass that was left overnight and there was a spider in it

And then the spider looked at me

My dad literally calls old water in a glass "spider water" because that happened to him in like 1972.

My ex (many reasons why he is an ex) husband once replied to me freaking out bc I drank from a glass with a large dead bug in it "the last thing it did before it drowned was shit". Thanks, honey, that helps.

I did that with a can of soda and drank a can of live ants. Twice.

Twice? 😨

I was a stupid kid who didn't learn the first time, so I repeated it with a cup of Kool-Aid.

same thing happened to me, but earwig

I liked this thread better when it was just about dead people in my water. Insects are gross.

!! HORROR

Y'all are creeping me out!

😱

I used to leave my water cup half-full. Then my dad told me about how he'd poured out my cup and found a click beetle in it.

Hello I am here in the comments to say "it tastes bad because the spiders drink it when you're asleep" but I see you're ahead of the game Shouldn't have brought jokes to the spider funeral 🫤

It was an ant in my case.

'Hey, I'm hydrating here!'

Does this work as a ghostbusting method?

This is why my water glass is filled with vodka. Besides the benefits of never freezing, which everyone knows is a problem in July,... The water goblins will never try to haunt what are obviously spirits!!!!

😎

that is what the woke media wants you to think! It actually tastes bad because of the nutte dippe

The Ghost Of Dasani - only on Tubi

dust, microfibers, bugs, ghosts So many flavors

I love standing water, but it has to be ice cold and covered...

ah, so THAT'S what's causing the cacophony of shrieking that rings constantly in my ears.

🤣 wait huh... is that true? 😮

@gork.bluesky.bot is this true

yeh

But I like the taste of old water, Am I just infused with evil spirits?

That glass of water left on the nightstand, saw horrible things. Of course it’s haunted.

Woo woo water, haunted by the ghosts of departed owls

Not to mention all that fly toe-jam

I'm going to be telling ppl this from now on But I'm going to act like the guardian from Destiny.... "Moon's haunted" "What?" "Moon's" cock's gun "haunted"

Legit

I knew it. Blasted haunted water.

aha! Was wondering about that -- if it was just bug scat, etc. And from that perspective, this is good news. Thanks!

This thread is brilliant 🤣

That’s why you use a water bottle. The ghosts can’t get in.

Are you kidding me? The water tastes even worse after a day or so in a water bottle. It’s full of ghouls and basilisk scales!

Depends on the kind of bottle.

Them ghosts fuck the water is what happens

but not water with a lid

I always cut the crust off of my water before drinking it, call me picky, w.e.

Oh, so now you're little Abigail Breslin in that M night movie Signs?

But I love slurpin’ ghost essence. It’s their fault, buncha dumb spirits, they can’t drink my water.

Me over here like Bugs Bunny confronting the name "Hansel" going, "Haunted? Haunted!?"

To you maybe, I love the taste of ghosts in the morning

Or because my cat puts his paw in it.

Or a cat face! I had to buy a silicone cup lid and keep it on constantly because the second it’s left off, the cat is drinking straight from my glass.

Ooooooh silicone cup lids!! Great idea! One of my cats also enjoys knocking my full glass down. After he sticks his paw in it, of course.

Of course! Have to sample the water first to determine if it’s push-worthy!

Stop spreading the bigotry that all poltergeist smell.

I knew it

Or you have a cat 🐈

If you leave water out, all the tiny house-elves use it to go skinny dipping. And house-elves are horny little fuckers, so when you drink it, you are almost certainly tasting elf-jizz.

Are you saying I've been drinking ghost jizz???

This is why I put my bedside table water in an insulated bottle with ice, ghosts are afraid of vacuums (because of ghostbusters).

Oh that is worth a comment telling you how good it was !

They are bit fond of ice either. Too cold for them.

The other reason it tastes bad when you leave it overnight is because there’s a spider in it. True story: I took a sip from a cup of water I left on my desk from the day before - almost swallowed a spider. I felt it move in my mouth and spit the sip/spider back into the cup.

Finally something that makes sense

*me leaves 365 glasses of water on the table so I can vore a ghost for every day of the year.

Unfortunately the most reliable method of detecting whether a ghost is actually in there is whether or not the cat knocks it over and spills it.

Pffft. Ghosts love cats!

Wait. Why do one a day when you have enough for 365 a day?

(Dust)

It goes flat.

This is true, the dead come to a rest in the glass overnight and taint the water. #science

‘Taint the water? Tis the water, I tink!

Or you have cats

So my grandma was telling the truth?! She always said to put a glass of water on your nightstand so that it absorbs the “bad energy” and “evil spirits.” 😳

THANKS FOR THAT!!! I always wondered🤔🤔🤔

But day-old water in my water bottle still tastes great, because it seals out ghosts

That's what I've been told

Ewwwww!!!! Drinking ghosts!!!!!!

and sometimes a bug falls in it too.

Truth.

I knew it..

you're of weak stock and you won't survive the winter

Jokes on you, the chlorine kills them ghosts. And their undead nature neutralizes the chlorine. So the yucky taste that dries my mouth out goes away by morning's light.

Can confirm. Haunting glasses left out overnight is how I paid my way through law school.

Signs (2002), dir. M. Night Shyamalan

Nah, ‘twas the bloody cat. Again.

Night water on the other hand

Water ghosts are called nymphs. Which is how this whole Epstein thing got started. It’s a misunderstanding.

Nightmare fuel ignited

*Night Water* @thekarlapacheco.bsky.social

My daughter insists that she can not drink 'old water' from the cup I filled for her last night. It is 'old and gross'. My argument for how water can't readily spoil fall on deaf ears. However, she is 5. I capitulate. If I had a parenting motto it would be 'I capitulate.' Prime headstone material.

Otherwise known as "pick your battles" :)

Take an open cup that's been sitting out all night, hold it up to the light; you'll probably see specks of dust on the surface. (If not, my house is evidently dustier than yours.) Might help to use a drinking cup with a lid. That or she likes that the water is colder right out of the tap.

It can pick up dust and such from the air or container, and distilled water in particular can combine with CO2 in the air to form mild carbonic acid 🫠

I keep bottles of water in the fridge. Best water I ever tasted was probably full of animal poop and contaminants, but it came from a mountain stream that was just above freezing. I also buy various fruit juice with wide necks. I reuse those bottles after cleaning with hot water, soap and vinegar.

🤣

I think I saw this in SIGNS or some shit having a cat who would knock over any glass left out I had to switch to bottles or stuff with lids, keeps the ghosts and bugs out, so I never went back

Is that why my ahole cats like to stick her paws in my water glass? Scooping out the ghosts?

Your cat thanks you. It was getting exhausting protecting you each night.

hee hee hee hee

Same. Had to switch to Contigo insulated mugs, so they could stay cold/hot/unhaunted. I didn't learn the lesson until AFTER a cat knocked over a drink onto the power bar though. She wasn't even sorry. But now, my bedside drinks are spill/ghost-free.

I got a (relatively well reviewed) knockoff of a stanley on clearance and it's been great for the summer, I wish the ghosts would've at least chilled the water with their evil, jeez

Same here. Not one ghost has been able to open the lid. Very effective.

It's contaminated you don't even know what that word means youtu.be/bLZ5_Z5Qhv8?...

The cat was only knocking over haunted water.

Hero cat

Ghosts pee in it

I was thinking ghost farts, myself.

Thought they soaked their feet in it. Or their whatnots, whatever needs attention.

*cum

After you die and go to in hell they actually bcome the same thing

That's just the bacteria in the water having sex overnight. 🔬

Water just 'matures' overnight, that's why it has a more complex flavour in the morning. But yeah, ghosts dipping their bits and pieces in the glass will do that too.

mulder voice: ever heard of bedside water ghosts

cc: @minorfracas.bsky.social

Wow. I had no idea. This internet thing is great! I learn so much!

Well I learn new things each day! Here I thought the loan grasshopper or moth that managed to find its way inside my home drowned in what they thought was a swimming pool.

Stagnation is never good.

I prefer the complex palate of ghost water thank you

The ghosts lost both their oxygen and their carbonation.

I thought my little girl was telling untruths. She doesn’t deserve to be in the cellar now that I think of it

@jrlund.bsky.social 👆charming thread

This is why I store all my water in my cheeks

Doesn’t the fluoride keep the ghosts at bay?

No, it attracts them. That's why we must remove the fluoride, so we don't get haunted teeth.

This is terrifying.

Cat spit

No, it goes stale because it absorbs moisture from the air.

You're right and you're right to say it.

It's haunted by dust. aka, mostly your skin cells. You drink yourself.

this explains EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

I chug it all down and absorb the ghosts’ power

I only keep a glass of holy water by my bedside for this exact reason.

Night water has a sacred crispness that you can only get directly from the source at 3am. A stagnant sip is scarcely a sip at all

Better it than me

“I am the Ghost of Water Past! Hydrate …. yourself!” “Pshaw! You are nothing but sports water! Why, if I watered my plants with you, they would die!”🥀

Literally. Dead skin cells.

You know what else is haunted? The sushi I found in a bin

@spacethey.gay SEE? I TOLD YOU

im still drinkin that garbage

ikr?

I buy it

I knew it wasn't my imagination!

The ghosts are sweaty when the water is too warm. It's like drinking haunted gym socks.

Cocks LifeStraw.

i always thought it just got stale but this makes way more sense. possessed waters.

Nah the cat laps in it

I want to know, what haunts water?

Oh wow. I always thought it was because of undine poop.

Or cause my cat sticks her damn paw in it

I leave the bottles open at night and seal them in for the day so I can enjoy fresh wailings of the damned when I'm at work

I drank that…Ew…and whoever had an Aunt Linda that loved Seaside Heights NJ, she says Hi and you got the sauce recipe wrong.

The most important thing water treatment plants do is remove the evil spirits but the treatment only lasts a few hours, this is why the small print on a Brita pitcher says to dump it out every night before going to bed.

Does it really say that????

its contaminated

Haunted by cat food breath and litter feet.

Overnight water is the ghostly remains of dead aqua

It's the glass that's haunted
