[@frankbombaci4977]

Shoutout to the fellow Armcheries !

[@mohitr4561]

😮Dax comes off a bit condescending here (not his fault, but of the people that told him stuff). So as someone who was born and raised in an Indian city and is now living in the US, let me set some context - In all parts of the country, it is unsafe to drink tap water. However, almost every household in Indian cities have electronic water purifiers installed. So if you go to somebody's house in India, absolutely drink the water they offer. It is probably much more purified than what comes from the Brita filter in the US. Also, the vegetables don't come pre-washed in India, unlike grocery stores in the US. However, literally every household in India washes the vegetables clean before cooking/serving. Don't eat vegetables off the shelf of a grocery store for sure but please don't make a mockery of your Indian host by refusing to eat if they offer you vegetables.

[@starsinthesky593]

So true

[@cascamiddlemiss1167]

It's what he was told to watch out for by a medical professional. Not his fault. I live in South Africa and people think the same thing. Don't take sensitivity out on strangers to your country...educated or not. We're all just humans navigating the avoidance of potential diarrhea lol.

[@mohitr4561]

@@cascamiddlemiss1167 Absolutely, that's a fair point. Like I pointed out in the beginning, it's not his fault. I understand that he was playing it as a joke. I wrote it just for context, so that people don't take the wrong message out of it and think that all of India lives in an unhygienic condition.

[@alyssa1204]

@@cascamiddlemiss1167 Of course you're not wrong, but Dax wasn't issuing a health advisory. He used it to tell a joke before sharing anything positive about the country. The overall impression at the end was bad about India, good about Bill Gates.

[@ummshivam]

[@kamalacotts4913]

Dude, don't drink tap water from the street! But you are talking about the Central minister's house! You can drink water there! You should have followed Bill Gates's lead.

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

Does it mean that the Minister 's home has it's own water filteration system or it's connected to the general population's system? I worked with a group of Indian business men in Hong Kong, they told me just don't visit the Taj Mahalo, the surrounding areas are dirty.

[@keerthanaRathinavelu696]

Of course, Ministers of India do have separate filtration system, which normal citizens couldn't afford.

[@bdr22]

​@@___beyondhorizon4664 Most people have their own water filtration systems, no body drinks tap water directly. The water filtration systems range from UV based to RO with multiple types of filters in between.

[@ummshivam]

@@keerthanaRathinavelu696 my guy is so misinformed, we don't have central water filtartion system . we have reverse osmosis water filtaration systems at most of the houses or the houses that doesn't have those they get drinking water delivered to their doorstep . If we didn't had drinking water you would have seen 1000s of waterborne cases out of india on your news channels

[@CaseyPriceForsakenhero]

I've been obsessed with the podcast since 2019

[@lindaward3156]

he looks great, good to see it

[@8cats481]

As an American staying with my Indian partner’s family in Odisha at the same time as Dax, I feel this misrepresents India. My hosts suggested that I avoid street food that might be made from tap water, however I absolutely would have had chai that was BOILING, thus bacteria free. Also, as someone else has commented, most homes have purified water, in which case it as absolutely fine to drink. I understand that this was meant to be humorous, but it is frustrating to see India misrepresented on national television.

[@finjibuns]

It's insane to me in 2024 people are still talking about India being a place where you cannot eat or drink safely. I spent 3 weeks travelling all over India and only got an upset stomach once and that was my own fault as I had water from an unknown source on a train and it wasn't even that bad. If you are in a restaurant or hotel then water and food will 💯 be tourist friendly. Especially if it's a hotel or event Bill Gates is at.
