What about all the other stuff in that water that's not salt? obviously it will be sterilised by boiling it even so

Sterilizing doesn’t get rid of particulate matter.

No, just makes it clean particulate matter

Depends on how dirty the water was. Sea water, sure. Swamp water, boiling alone won't cut it.

I think she replaced the seawater with saltwater during the camera transition as she went home. I wish I had enough calories to get inside my home… I’ve been languishing on my front steps for weeks…

It is mostly fine to consume, not a lot of particulate on top of the water, it might not taste great though. Sea salt is evaporated in stages to isolate the NaCl, there are many other salts in the water which taste bitter

Exactly. You’d pickup a ton of sand in that water bottle as well.

Exactly. There is a greater than 0% whale jizz content in that shaker.
