Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Is that actually true? I've looked this up a while and it said it's basically overblown or urban myth (wiki). Basically we've been drinking rainwater forever (I know it's not pure) and you get so much stuff through food that it might lead to deficiency but not quickly.

Wikipedia isn't a source you concaveman. Even just clicking the citation numbers and finding the actual source at the bottom would be fine, instead you chose the stupid route. I'll admit the risk was overblown by sensationalism journalists, but it's not a myth in the slightest.

That is what I was asking because of your outrageous claim (death within a week). But of course you're just a loudmouth.

The first sentence was a rhetorical question and the second two were arguing with Wikipedia as your citation. You never asked anything in good faith.
