I prefer to make my own by buying two cylinders of hydrogen gas and one cylinder of oxygen.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

And even instant energy for free as well, besides the water

Good thinking

Come on, using pre-made oxygen is just lazy. Just make the oxygen yourself from a few neutrons, protons and electrons.

If you wish to make ~~an apple pie~~ water from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

This guy, with the pre-made neutrons, protons and electrons.

Back in my day we only needed up-quarks and down-quarks and the electrons were free-range.

For oxygen yeah, but hydrogen is easier to just buy.

I feel like you’ll need more than just that, but I’m not a scientologist.

My mind is stretching itself smooth wondering what the powder is made of.

It’s got what waters crave.

could be salts commonly found in water

well yes but on top of natrium cloride there are also considerable amounts of calsium, magnesium, carbonate and sulfate ions

Dehydrated water

My guess is that it is a disinfectant to purify water when boiling isn't an option.

Steven Wright wants his due (it's at the 2:45 mark if my link doesn't work). He did this joke decades ago {back in the '80s).

Remember when the yankee media pushed a scary story on powdered alcohol?
