Cmon let's do a new struggle session.

My preference is tea temperature water (not scalding hot but a good hot) because it settles my tummy.

As cold as if it just dripped off a glacier

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As cold as it can be while still being liquid. I want the water to be so cold and refreshing it astral projects me to a mid 2000's stock desktop wallpaper.

Glacial water must be to your liking

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

this but unironically

president xi let me in, pls im begging u

That's also how you stay healthy and powerful!

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Anywhere from 1C to 99C, it's too hard to drink otherwise.

Look at this loser not drinking superheated or supercooled water.

Metastable water just hits different.

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Personally I love drinking water vapor

Call me old fashioned if you like, but I think things are best drunk when they are liquid.

(But the real answer is whatever you feel comfortable with, there's no one correct way to drink water)

Yes there is, start an argument!!

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

unless you're drinking water by floating in a tank of mist like a spacing guild navigator, you're doing it objectively wrong

I can't wait to get a tooth fixed so I can chug ice-cold water again.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 3 days ago

I got a tooth fixed a couple months ago, and I'm waiting for the sensitivity to go away so I can drink cold water again.

热水. Hot water. I tried it in China because if you ask for water that’s the temp they’ll give it to you, and found I love it. It was funny, by the end of the trip, I was ordering it specifically, and they’d always put it in front of my wife and the ice water in front of me because she’s Chinese and I’m a foreigner, and we’d just switch the cups right in front of them.

[–] Lucien@mander.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

This is the way

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Trueanon rule 68: Always keep it cool, baby

[–] Lucien@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm confused, 68° C water is hot

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What about in farenheight?

As cold as possible

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Ice fucking cold

[–] omegathrowaway@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

Room temperature or slightly below

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

I truly don't think it matters to your body at all. The temperature difference from a little bit of water in your stomach isn't going to do much of anything and will be heated by your body in little time.

Preferences though? Cold water and only cold water. Warm water is like drinking spit to me and that's gross. Hot water is fine if there's something in it like coffee or tea.

[–] SamotsvetyVIA@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

95℃ with a tea bag for a while, and then some oat milk.. so like 35-ish for drinking?

[–] Lucien@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wait, you don't boil your water first?

[–] SamotsvetyVIA@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

you are correct i had a brainfart. it's about 95

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Groundwater temperature. It's always been easily available that way, it's not too hot, and not too cold, just a little on the cool side.

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

My family used to fill up jugs from an artesian spring by us, and it was incredible. So cold, so tasty, incredible for brewing. Annnnd in about my 20th year of life, they shut it down for being full of PFAs 😎 but at least now I don’t have to worry about brain plaque with how much mines scotch-garded

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Depends on season. Winter > hot, summer cold, autum/spring > whatever temp it comes out of the tap

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Seasonal water preference! Interesting

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

Mostly just the inverse of whatever the outside temp is. Also kinda holds for coffee/tea tol where I'll switch to the iced versions (or cold) of each in summer

just above freezing

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Ice. I like my water crunchy.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Whatever temperature piss is

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago
[–] necrobius@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

Exactly 4°C. I won't be taking further questions.

[–] Lamprey@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's sparkling water at approximately 50 degrees fahrenheit

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Depends on environment, time of day, activity etc

[–] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

whatever the temperature is in the main pipes. so ground temperature.

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

Tea temperature water is only good when its cold outside, otherwise I like 65-33.

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

I usually drink it room temperature, but it's best ice cold.

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

5C. I dislike hot drinks. Frozen drinks like smoothies are good too.

room temp. Easy to drink, easy to store.

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

room temp if it's bottled water, cold otherwise
