Weird quirk of English… why do we say “6 o’clock in the morning”, “2 o’clock in the afternoon”, and “6 o’clock in the evening”, but then we say “9 o’clock at night”? It doesnt sound right to say “at morning”, “at afternoon”, or “at evening”. You can say something happened “in the night”, but only in a non-specific way, like “she passed in the night”. But “I go to work at 11 o’clock in the night” just doesnt work.

CPU temp will be my break statement.

And Jr high school girls locker rooms… hmm, nope. Nope. Grossed myself out.

There will be statues. I guarantee it.

Heh, Gateway monitors.

That is a very important apostrophe.

Was he right tho?

Oily skin and hair that takes actual scrubbing to take care of and a genuine enjoyment of a bit of scalding on the skin.

I mean… if you want to clean up a bunch of salts you’re creating.

Yes, I know. And to maintain homeostasis, it has means to make adjustments to changes, like pH. Which means you can change the pH of some fluid in the body within reason, and it will correct this change. We are not saying anything different.

I wasn’t trying to suggest that it (alkaline water) necessarily does anything of significance. I certainly wasnt saying it has any health benefits. I was saying that, at most, adding a small bit of base to the body might make it compensate a bit. That’s it.

None of what you said contradicts what I said.

Ok. Then they’re wrong. The human body’s overall pH can vary within to a small degree with little to no effect on your health, let alone kill you. Changing the pH in small amounts, particularly in different areas like the stomach, will not typically harm the body at all. The entire purpose of some medications like antacids is to do that specifically with the stomach, for example.

You replied to me, dude. And I said more than one thing. Idk what the hell you’re claiming will kill you.

Hmm TIL

It absolutely will not. If it did, it would kill you.

Then what does that mean?

I was more of a physics nerd. Can’t say I’ve heard of such a thing.

How would a negligible change in your stomach acidity kill you? What do you think tums do?

I didnt say it would make a significant or even measurable difference. But it will technically drop your overall pH. If I drop any mass of basic material in any volume of acidic material with which it can react, there will be some net change in acidity, even if negligible.

I believe the intended purpose is to reduce the overall acidity of your body, which it will do (negligibly, maybe even immeasuably). Your stomach acid will compensate regardless, but, in doing so, it uses acidic compounds in the process to do so. Whether that is even beneficial in general is debatable at best, though likely not. But mixing in other acids does negate at least some of the alkalinity, which would defeat the entire point, if there is any effect from it.

Edit: Clarified my position a bit. I’m not suggesting that alkaline water is effective at doing anything at all, nor even that its intended purpose would be a health benefit.
