    Edit: I guess the first link I put had some shitty info/estimates, my bad. Swapped it for a wiki article.

      those numbers are inflated to fuck, or else the people studied for it are just wasteful as fuck

      I take long showers often multiple times a day, wash a lot of stuff by hand, do a lot of garden watering, fill a kiddie pool when it’s hot, and wash my hands very often. I still only reach a max of 60 gallons a day on average in the summer. typically half that in the winter. and I wfh so all my shitting is done at home, too.

      who the fuck is flushing 15 gallons a day just by themself? and who the fuck is doing multiple loads of laundry every single day?

      the incredibly low quality of that blog post pisses me off. garbage like that makes the world a worse place, and whoever published that should be ashamed of their work

      Copilot told me that they need fresh water to survive, just like us.
