I experienced such a mindfuck moment when I realized that Jan, Johan, Jons, Hans, Jean, Giovanni, Jonas, Juan, Shawn, Sean, Ivan, Ewan, Ian, Jack, Jonathan, and John were all the same name across different cultures. It was like a hundred dots connected in my mind at once. That’s insight. That’s understanding. Beautiful.
I had another mindfuck when I realized that Johnson, Jackson, Thompson, Peterson, Williamson, Erickson, Michaelson, Nicholson, Anderson, Christiansen, Davidson, Donaldson, Carlson, Ferguson, Hanson, Harrison, Jefferson, Larson, Martinson, Olofson, Patterson, Robinson, Stephenson, Walterson, Wilson — were all just sons named after their father's first name. Humans are so fucking unoriginal it’s stunning. Conformity all the way down. Sheep following sheep following sheep following sheep. Ape aping ape aping ape aping ape.
This water filtration system has very good filtration and it's small enough to sit on an apartment countertop. This system is good if you don't own your own house and can't install a permanent under-the-counter system. If you own your place, I recommend installing this system instead. (aff link)

Note: This system doesn't remineralize the water, so you should supplement with minerals, like this.
