It’s lacking all sorts of minerals, electrolytes etc that the body needs. I doubt a glass of the stuff wouldn’t cause problems but if you only drink pure water then you’re going to start having problems pretty fast.
You could certainly make up the electrolytes and minerals in other ways (drinking distilled water may even increase appetites for those types of foods). Still, drinking a liquid that leeches minerals out of the tissue around it isn’t healthy
Depends on a lot of circumstances – weight, kidney and heart function, temperature, activity. The people I saw developing hyponatriema drank more than 4–5 l tap water. Desalinated water will cause problems sooner.
It's difficult to say and drinking a bit of sweat with every sib would help a lot.
The experiment is that some of your cells in a dish with excess of pure H2O will suck themselves full till they explode due to osmosis.
@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@issotm whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa why did they get to assume that it’s going to be liquid? I am reliably informed that people like to put solid dihydrogen monoxide in these containers. (I suppose gaseous dihydrogen monoxide is also possible, but I have not seen that in person in one of these containers.)

if it's pure H2O I don't think it's safe to ingest either

The 2nd version of this container should add purity percentage.

Why? How much would be safe

It's basically distilled water, no?

I think you're just salty.

So if your diet is a bit high in salt, would distilled water help counteract it a bit?
Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social · 9 pts · 1y
Yea I think you're fine drinking like a litre of distilled water. Too much of anything will kill you, even regular water.
Lazhward@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y
Would you really? Food also contains minerals and electrolytes.

The LD
50for pure H2O seems to be >90,000 mg/kg. (According to rat studies, so take it with a grain of salt.)Gurfaild@feddit.org · 20 pts · 1y
If you take it with a grain of salt it's less dangerous than pure water

I think it has something to do about demineralisation, the water would absorb minerals out of the body

Always familiarize yourself with the chemicals you're working with. Be sure to read the MSDS for each one.
TheAvarageNerd@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 1y
I know how little I know about chemistry. The stuff on that page probably makes sense. But this just made me laugh.

With what, more water?

Sulfuric acid of course, gotta get in deep to get that water out. Don't be alarmed if some of the water becomes red.

Dihydrogen monoxide is overplayed, call it what it really is, hydrogen hydroxide

In its gaseous form dihydrogenmonoxide leads to fatal skin damage.
