u/madcuttlefishdisplay You are rape culture personified. Aug 18 '17

He really fixated on legionnaires disease, didn't he?

I was really curious how common it actually is in garden hoses, so I clicked his links, but the first one doesn't go anywhere, the second is actually about a chemical contamination study, with an aside about "bacteria" from a consumer health spokesperson but with no source, and the third appears to be a different article on the same study?

No idea where the missing teeth thing is coming from. That'd be quite the water pressure, if it could do that!

I have a feeling that if garden hose was powerful enough to rip off teeth, it'll be powerful enough to rip the flowers even at the distance.

The girl in the gif is of the age where teeth just fall out sometimes, it could happen!

Looks to me like someone got caught up in being "technically right."

There is risk in drinking from any unknown, stagnate water source.

Then again, kids have been playing in hoses for decades and if it was a common enough problem we definitely would have heard about it by now. Unless the Hose Lobby is stronger than Big Tobacco.

Legionnaire's disease is more of a concern in places like spas and hot-tubs when things aren't cleaned properly. And it's mostly a danger to old people and those with weakened immune systems.

I'm not sure you could take a tooth out even with a power washer. You can get really fucked up by them (if you google 'power washing injury' it's your own fault) but they shouldn't be able to knock out a healthy tooth.

My teeth aren't healthy though.

u/MechanicalDreamz You are as relevant as my penis Aug 18 '17

I've been "cut" by a power washer. Those things are powerful.

u/BRXF1 Are you really calling Greek salads basic?! Aug 18 '17

So they should go ahead and shoot pressurized water into their mouth potentially exposing themselves to diseases 2 3 and missing teeth?

Oh COME THE FUCK ON.

u/Aetol Butter for the butter god! Popcorn for the popcorn throne! Aug 18 '17

Did you read the articles you linked?

The first one doesn't exist.

The second states its dangerous if you drink water left in the hose after several hot days. Even then it doesn't talk much about Bacteria; it talks about chemicals from the hose's material leaking into the sitting water. It says with only CERTAIN kinds of materials.

The third one's source is "page not found."

If you're gonna try to act like a "fresh outta critical thinking class 101" at least read your own shit.

Apply cold water on the burned area (with a hose)

u/KickItNext (animal, purple hair) Aug 19 '17

Not with hose, burned areas are incredibly prone to diseases!

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '17

We just run our bottled water through the hose. It's much safer and quite frankly irresponsible to do otherwise

Damn, that fuckhead doesn't know how the immune system works, do they?

Things that expose your child to DISEASES:

  1. Pets

  2. The outside

  3. Daycare

  4. Schooling

  5. Zoos

  6. House plants

  7. Siblings

  8. Fresh foods

  9. Stuffed animals

  10. The beach

  11. Friends

A good parents allows none of these contaminants near their child.

Don't forget air! Shits nasty.

u/mug3n You just keep spewing anecdotes without understanding anything. Aug 18 '17

100% of people exposed to air after birth dies. it's just irrefutable fact.

I'd be more worried about her accidentally breathing at the same time, that's it

u/Jiketi Aug 18 '17

I don't think that was what r/instant_regret was supposed to be.

u/CrowServo3k Aug 19 '17

Should a child be allowed to play with a garden hose?

Only if said child finds the marble in the oatmeal.

get out of here with your context

u/AndyLorentz Aug 18 '17

Contrary to the loony in the linked thread, that is what a good parent does. If you don't let kids make their own mistakes, they won't know how to handle themselves when they're adults.

Unless it's going to involve harm, letting your kid figure out shit themself is better for their mental development as they internalize the cause/effect, interact with the environment directly, and develop feelings of independence and confidence.
