Lol, 1 liter is nothing. But yeah okay, it could be a liter of water for the poor thirsty AI data centres.

In the water wars documentary, Holes, it was proven that children and young adults could work all day in the sun without any significant amount of water. Therefore your allocation of water will be limited further until morale improves. Woke unionized overpaid bureacrats just want to take all your money to waste water, instead of using that money for useful datacenters and more oil drilling.

Ditched the 40oz for a 134oz. Best decison I've ever made. All the water I want and a weapon built into one device. It even comes with nice sturdy handles.

How the hell am I going to show off my peer-approved, corporation-branded water bottle?

Doctor said I should drink 100oz a day soooooo.... I'm gonna keep trusting my medical professional instead of a random idiot who doesn't like the taste of water.

Can you imagine taking health and wellness advice from The Wall Street journal? Jesus.

The article seems to be a list of ~~products you can buy~~ things you can drink to get your daily hydration that aren't boring old water.

It's also good for tooth and gum health to drink water throughout the day, it helps keep them clean between brushing.

This has been your daily reminder to take care of your teeth kids!
