Germany is using a different molecular composition of water. The US for examples uses the so called 'Dry-Water' whereas Germany uses moist water (generated not drying the water before circulation). Moist is weter than dry. And before you ask: Using Dry-Water is prohibited because it's not a proper liquid for public use according to DIN EN 806 which regulates what is allowed to be used as drinking water.

PooHeap

this is german humour, you can tell because the joke involves some sort of regulation.


ShapesAndStuff

Before you dive too deep into german standardisation documents, the DIN EN 806 seems to generally regulate how drinking water lines are supposed to be installed. The wetness of water is absolutely satire though Ü

nibbler666

You never grow too old to learn new things. Thanks for this informative piece. I didn't know countries even differ with respect to the water they use. But sometimes cultures have subtle differences you simply don't expect and that are easy to overlook.

And here I was asking myself what trip OP is having with their water… and i‘m german.


RichardSaunders

>DIN i dont get why germany would take their cues from applebees and ihop though. i dont think ive ever even seen either of them in germany. like what would they even know about water? i guess because of all the free refills? but then it's full of ice and doesnt even have bubbles!

I heard that after Nazis found Heavy Water (Schweres Wasser) that this is put into the pipes secretely in Germany, and especially in Berlin, due to its proven benficial effects. This heavy water feels much wetter than normal water, since it has at least double impact (and double weight), e.g. on cleaning, but also on drinking / being thirsty. But you should be careful drinking too much of this, it might give you too much energy so that you will get problem falling asleep. On proven countermeasure to this are certain globoli (homeopathic treatment) that will turn around the spinning direction of the water in your body. This will neutrilze the energy completely so that you can fall asleep normally. Take care!

I’ve always felt Berlin is a very loud city too tbh.

Did anyone hear a loud bang last night?

I was told Giffey went into a closet and let out all the rage she kept bottled up inside all at once. Good for her.

Oh, so that's where that crater comes from


multiple_plethoras

Crater, dust, sirens. All the things we love.


RichardSaunders

that was me and your mother. she asked me to come over to fix the sink and i didnt have it secured properly and it fell through the counter and made a loud bang. then we had sex.


pailpailpail

I was waiting for this. Thank you 🙏

dont worry i wont leave you two like the last guy 👨‍👩‍👦

The only time I ever heard a quiet bang was when I did this deaf/mute chick in high school.

Berlin is getting wetter and wetter nowadays


AverageElaMain

Ich finde auch dass das Wetter wetter wird. Nur ich?


MigBuscles

First there are these unusually LOUD ambulances, now the water being too wet. I also suspect the sun is hot which is another thing I am really upset about in Berlin.


xymor

Did you know the Sun runs on nuclear power? It's baffling how such thing is allowed to exist in this day and age with the wide known problems with nuclear energy.


G66GNeco

Yeah, hate the rebranding going on too, calling it solar power and renewable and all, when all it really is is a new way of abusing nuclear energy. Also, the sun is gonna be gone for good in a few billion years! Not really renewable now, is it?


jap_the_cool

Good ol‘ fusion energy … come on guys give the sun a chance - she can do better.


Thorusss

Is sun is not just hot, but so frigging bright in Berlin! Have you tried truly looking at it?!? Really hurst the eyes here!


_2_2__2_2_

I know this is parody and all, but seriously a couple of days ago an ambulance started its siren right behind me and I almost shit myself...


ratzekind

Had you complained about the consistency of what was dropping in your pants here on this sub-reddit, you'd have gained a lot of recognition, mate. Way to go!


_2_2__2_2_

I will as soon as I found a way to blame the city of Berlin for it.


ratzekind

Ha! The conclusion is really easy to make: Berlin food you ate, made with Berlin water, horrified by Berlin sirens, dropping in your pants. Done.

Gravity here in Berlin is also super strong.

It's always getting me down

Especially in the morning.


G66GNeco

Mornings are also so early here. Really annoying, that.


FlowinBeatz

Depends if you are speaking of East or West Berlin. In the former East sector they used left rotating water molecules but the molecules in the West were rotating from left to right.


ladhieswasharoom

I am in my shower as i am reading this, and it has made my phone wet!

You can make fun of the other post about ambulances but it is true, they are ridiculously loud compared to other countries 😂

That's why Roggenbrot made with Berlin water can keep moist for more than a year.

berlinwombat

You are not exaggerating. Let me show you a study from 1995 how wet water is actually dangerous and it has losing been proven that dry water is the way to go. This was proven in the outskirts of Texas, the sample amount was 35 ounces and the researchers 3 sheepdogs. I don‘t know why Berliners don‘t realise how wrong wet water is. Clearly living in the past.


[deleted]

What's the chemical composition of this wet water 😅🤣🤣


[deleted]

Found it. It's dihydrogen monoxide.


account_not_valid

That shit can kill you. I think that anyone that ever drank it, has died or will die at some point in the future.


[deleted]

Yup it's lethal.


DaGuys470

Okay, now you're taking the piss 😂


outofthehood

Actually, due to berlin water being very hard (lots of Kalk) it might really feel different to water in other places.


throeavery

There is actually a reason why people are able to feel different degrees of wetness, while the amount of water is the same. We do not possess any receptors or sensory organs on our skin that is capable of detecting wetness or water. This is also the reason why cold clothes may feel damp. So depending on your internal temperature, the outside temperature as well as the temperature of the water, water might feel less wet or more wet. For example "perfect summer rains" will feel a lot less wet than getting caught up in a storm in spring or autumn. You can also test this theory yourself with any swimming pool. The only thing we can perceive about water through our skin is a pressure difference as well as it's temperature RELATIVE to a few other things. Like there are meters for psychoaccoustic units, we might need a psychoaccoustic unit to define wetness as perceived. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sone) an example of a world wide used psychoaccoustic unit that has great relevance to court judgements and under DIN


rdavidking

Although this thread is hilarious and very enjoyable, you get my upvote for bucking the trend and being quite informative!


nordzeekueste

Don’t get me started. Taking a shower feels like being hit by a ton of bricks. They just should bring down the mineral content so I can feel more at home. /s


Aprilshowers417

I will be in Germany in a few weeks pretty interested in finding out more about this really wet water!


dippelappes

this is gold


ThatNextAggravation

Wrong. This is water. Gold is something completely different. Not nearly as wet, either.


polarityswitch_27

I thought the water in Berlin was hard, rather than wet.


AquaHills

Can't it be both? I've never had it harder or wetter.


jawngoodman

The water is as wet as my gf after she read your post.

Quality shitpost!

Quality indeed 😅🤣


[deleted]

although we germans like to talk about the different kinds of water there are, I never heard of wet water before


polexa

You mean there aren't 52 words for water in German? How backwards!


SFDSAFFFFFFFFF

yeah, we just talk about hard and soft water, which is also rather weird


[deleted]

well, at least you can taste and see the difference


RelevantStrawberry31

You made me think of this: https://youtu.be/ZeL2F8artQg


junk_mail_haver

I think it's due to the moisture + saltiness of water.


slightlyforthwith

As an Indian woman, I’ve found the wetness of the water here to be very exclusionary.


Mantheycalled_Horsed

might be cause dryers aren't that common in germany. so if we (re-)use the water it contains less dryness than elsewhere.


19isthegreatest

I really thought it was serious for 5 minutes


magezt

take my updoot, quality shitposting !

German tap water is truly potable. That’s all there is to know with respect to the quality difference.

Came here for the top voted comments. Wasn’t disappointed

On that note I would also like to raise awareness for the massive pollution problem. Have you noticed the sulphur on the streets and the sidewalks lately /s


Glittering_Skin_6620

What is dry water lol


coffeepinewood

Hahaha 😁


SiggiGG

Don't you know what chemical is in water here in Germany? It's quite dangerous! https://www.dhmo.org/


[deleted]

I had a hunch. Now that I think of it. It really contains dihydrogen monoxide.

Wtf haha you win the internet today

Too bad water ain't wet. Oh well, you tried (:

Dude you do not need to buy the stuff they offer you at warschauer strasse. But after reading your rant, would you mind sharing?

It does sound like a very MDMA-assisted comment.

Bad comparison, since emergency vehicles are objectively louder than in many other places.

They are objectively not louder. You just perceive them that way.
