Mod-Post Vetted Water Charity List

18 Upvotes

This thread will serve as a repository of vetted charities that have contacted the mod team asking to post here. With each charity you'll see a link to Charity Navigator and/or Charity Watch. We advise only donating if an organization passes these reviews. Feel free to also check any groups on ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, but note that not all charities are nonprofits.

We don't want orgs to spam the subreddit asking for your time/money, so for now (and until the number of asks grows too large) we'll pin comments by organizers in this thread and cycle them out as needed. There's a limit of 2 concurrent pins, so we'll play this by ear for a bit.

I'll update the list as others reach out.

If you're here as an organizer, please shoot us a modmail or reach out to me directly.

I’ve been hydrating wrong my entire life

363 Upvotes

I just came back from a failed doctors appointment. They missed my veins twice. Got asked if I’m drinking enough water and I said I was…

Now I know I wasn’t.

I’ve been drinking, or more like “chugging” around 500 ml of water every 6 hours. Now I heard I’m supposed to have tiny sips of water throughout the day, like, huh? No wonder everytime I drink water, after 10 minutes I’ve to hit the bathroom.

I never see people with bottles of water anywhere, casually sipping water every 10 minutes.

How do I hydrate!? If I drink too much at once, my body just filters it and to the toilet it goes. I can’t micromanage sips of water every 10 minutes. Is my bottle to blame? It’s a mizu aluminum one, nothing fancy.

I’m not here for the “why don’t you google” comments. I’m asking humans, not a machine, thank you. Yes I’m dumb, no need to call me out, thanks.

Water Bottle Wednesday Looking for water bottles that open up in the middle!

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hi! I'm hoping to find an insulated water bottle that opens up in the middle for easy cleaning. I used to have one from Starbucks, but lost it some years ago.

Here's a photo of a similar bottle, also from Starbucks; sadly they no longer carry this style of bottle in any of their new collections. I'm looking to get something like this again because I'm tired of buying a billion tools to get the bottom of my current bottle clean.

Please let me know if you have anything in mind!

Rate the new rig homies. 1.1 litre capacity and 24hr cooling time. The H2O you see in pic 3 is fresh from the tap / mountains here in Wales.

Thermos are the GOAT.

I spent a lot of time this summer camping/working in camp like settings. I was lucky to have free access to good and clean water the entire time I was away, but I had been truly longing for my first cup of water upon returning home... ice cold, thick plastic cup. A refreshing welcome on a beautiful day! 🙏🫶

Crud inside new contigo lid?

Upvotes

I'm not sure where else to ask since the company is no help, but I figure some of you might have this bottle!

I purchased two 32 oz Contigo Jackson Chill 2.0 Stainless Steel Water Bottles with autopop lids

from Coleman. Both arrived with labels still attached and appeared new, EXCEPT there's this weird black and grey/beige crud around the silicone seal thing in the cap? I contacted contigo and they were basically like oh, well, file a warrantly claim. Which is fine, but I don't want to repurchase and get the same issue again. Its kind of hard to see, but here's a pic anyway. I'm worried its dried mold or something because I can't imagine how this would be from manufacturing.

Too much water Am I hydrating wrong?

Upvotes

First of all I LOVE water. I live in a city that has one of the cleanest waters in the entire world and it tastes absolutely awesome but after reading a recent thread I am a bit confused. So what I do is I drink like 500ml in the morning then maybe an hour or two passes and then I drink another 500ml. I do this every day and I get to around maybe 3-4L of water every day. If I go to the gM its even more. Is that too much? Honestly I love drinking water and I do get a full stomach when I drink too much sometimes but tbh its worth it cus I feel thirsty a lot of the time for some reason. Thought this was normal tho.
Thanks!

I don’t feel thirsty

13 Upvotes

I’m like a camel. I only drink things for the effect like energy drinks, coffee, alcohol etc. I am basically never thirsty. I know I’m dehydrated because my pee is dark yellow and I sometimes feel bad in general, but it seems like reaching for a glass of water is harder than being dehydrated. I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember and think it may be genetic (grandpa and dad were the same way). The best method I’ve come up with to drink more water is to say 3.. 2… 1…. And just chug a glass which is very unpleasant. Anyways, I need help…

Like after drinking a lot of water I’m tired of water and it is tasteless but later it is so delicious?

Ditched regular Coca Cola yesterday. Too much, for too many years. Today sucked, but I am pulling through. I will not fail. I got sparkling water in my tap with my Quooker so I got zero excuses. It's still tough though. Can't wait to call myself a hydro homie.

I gotta commit now I wrote here.

While I do agree that too much water is damaging, telling people that they are fine with what they drink isn't the best idea. Everyone is different, and everyone needs a different amount to be healthy. Some need more, others need less, but it is still highly recommended for everyone to drink more water.

I was considering an AquaTru system, until I read more about the parent company, Ideal Living (I am specifically avoiding topics that might go against the sub's rules). Do you have a countertop RO system you trust?
