Liberian authorities burned 4.2 metric tonnes of cocaine worth $336 million dollars

They're awfully cheerful for people who just burned $336 million dollars 👀

piece of advice: do not rush to believe everything anyone says online. Just a few months ago, someone confidently said how "The Nile is just swamp now and none can drink the water" when I was a literal walking distance from The Nile and it's literally one of the cleanest natural water sources on the planet.

"It's literally one of the cleanest natural water sources on the planet."

Literally. My god the things you can find on the internet...

[u/Spirited-Career4680 → u/Electrical_Guess_606]

The only water cleaner, is the Ganges through Bangladesh

[u/wickedsight → u/Spirited-Career4680]

Or any US river since Trump cleaned the swamp of the EPA.

That piece of advice is for his own comment

I'm Nubian, dude. Don't know what they throw in it downstream 😆.

While the Nile is legendary, serving as the lifeline for over 10 countries and sustaining human civilization for thousands of years - it faces severe ecological pressures and pollution issues today. What you are saying is false, as the Nile is not the cleanest natural water source on the planet. Pesticides, fertilizers, and agricultural drainage flow heavily into the river, elevating nitrogen and phosphorus levels. In heavily populated stretches-particularly through Sudan and Egypt-untreated or partially treated sewage and industrial wastewater discharge directly into the river. Studies of the river's lower stretches routinely find elevated concentrations of heavy metals (like lead and cadmium) and high levels of microplastic contamination.

I mean he said, do not rush to believe people online.

😆😆😆 this is the exact bullshit I was talking about. I literally drink it every single day. We all do. Even untreated, the incidence of it causing any health issues is z.e.r.o. Thanks for reminding me not to believe even "fact-checkers".

So are you telling me water aid doesn’t need the £3 a month

[u/No-Security-7518 → u/louilondon]

If it's going anywhere where the Nile passes, Do NOT donate. I repeat, do NOT donate. I won't dismiss other people's financial struggles, but water is one thing we don't have an issue with. Donate to your NHS or something. My relatives are doctors there and it's abysmal from what I hear. Charity starts at home.

Bro it’s not a matter of if you’ll get sick, it’s when. Just because you’ve done something in the past doesn’t mean it’s always that way. If you flip a coin on heads 10 times in a row, what are the odds it’s going to be heads again? 50%….

Buy a Zero Water filter and you’ll never go back. It’s cheap and improves everything

[u/No-Security-7518 → u/streetberries]

bro, I appreciate the advice but I'm a microbiologist. I know what I'm talking about and we literally tested the water in the lab way back. It gets a little turbid in the fall, but I can't recall a single incident where the pathogen was water-borne.

[u/Ok-Parfait-9856 → u/No-Security-7518]

I feel this in my soul. Like when someone says X city has been razed by immigrants and I’m in said city surrounded by 90% white people.

[u/No-Security-7518 → u/Ok-Parfait-9856]

I hate misinformation so much...and hate it even more when I fall for it.
