this Finnish man invites you for a little swim, what do you do?
Is he swimming in the ganges river?
>>222905594it's normal for water to be brownit's safe to drink
>>222905594Please, Ganges chads are not goblins
>>222905594that's normal lake water, notice how there's no trash floating around him and nobody shitting by the lake shore
>>222905564
I fooled you all he's actually RussianFinns look Swedish
>>222906700>Vladimir Harkonnen
>>222906700Looks like a funny lad. Also I thought finns resemble balts more, like Estonians
holy shit he is real
>>222906609Kek, Judge Holden lookin mofo
>>222905609>>222906590>brown tinted water is normal!No anons, it is definitely not. Your water is filthy.
>>222906913American Education moment
I almost despair of putting it in a comprehensible form. It was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me. But how can I hope to explain myself here; and yet, in some dim, random way, explain myself I must, else all these chapters might be naught.
>>222905564>His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He swims in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is swimming, swimming. He says that he will never die.
>>222905564Join in
>>222905564he looks like a beluga whale from a fairytale where he gets turned into a human for a day and has to win the heart of a fair maiden
>>222905564That water is brown. BROWN.No siberian will swim in brown water when we have our crystal sea
>>222906913If the lake has a mud bottom it's normal color.
>>222906913It is normal a lot of rivers have brown water if they have earthly shores, or pass through marshes, and that's a lake. Clear rivers are mountainous.
>>222905564is he bathing in blood
>>222905564>Judge Holden is in Finland
bump 4 absolute pale unit
>>222905564these niggas really are Harkonnen
>>222905564Are Finns the Olmecs of Europe ?
>>222907039lol
>>222911191DAS RITE
>>222905564360 and swim away
>>222905564i stroke his fin
>>222906913You retard moron braindead dipshit idiot
>>222906913People who turned the most beautiful nature on earth into burgerpunk hellhole shouldnt have a say about nature
>>222906913>replies are all third world or finns
>>222911877the brown in the water is caused by tannins in decomposing plant matter, so it makes sense the replies come from forest finns and jungle thirdiebros. the UK has no trees so the water is transparent, o algo asi.
Brown/copper colored water is perfectly normal in northern areas of the world. Dystrophic lakes. Most lakes here in Sweden are deeply brown/reddish in color and also some of the cleanest lakes in the world. Same in Finland etc.
>>222912218Swampy water.
he swimming in coca cola o alho
>>222906913swampponds and stuff, its just humus
>>222906913Anon...
>My Swamp. My Mämmi. My Finlandia.
>>222911622>>222911683>>222913568In that anons defense our lakes are much more green tinted rather that straight up brown
>>222905564He looks so soulful compared to average slant eyed finno-uralic mutt
>>222913693>tf>tp
finns swim in coffee
>>222906913That's not actually even brown but more red which means there's iron in the local soil which gives the water a rusty reddish brown color.
>>222913956Sadly wrong anon (I hate to argue against you but..). It's >>222912218
>>222912218But would you say "It's safe to drink"?Is it safe to drink in the sense that sea water can be safe to drink, or is it safe to stick your head under and start swallowing?
>>222905564Baron Harkonnen is FINNISH?
>>222914895It's as safe to drink as any other lake water. You shouldn't drink it unless you boil it first, but getting some in your mouth while swimming won't make you sick.
>>222914895You're always at the risk of ingesting parasites and such when drinking water in nature but that aside yes it is safe to drink from many lakes and rivers in the Nordic countries. The water quality in itself is considered safe. Whenever I go hiking and camping here in Norrland I never bring any water with me. I drink straight from the source.
>>222905609Normal yesSafe to drink I doubtYou should drink from lakes anyway
>>222914895Since when is sea water considered safe to drink?
>>222912218>it's not a le dirty lake>it's actually a dystopic lake!
>>222915564just steam it, you get free salt as a gift meanwhile
>>222915615Yes, the color is more like why tea is brown. Not because of dirt. The water is still clean.
>>222915564Desalination. I was making the point that pretty much all water is safe to drink as long as it goes through a process and pitting that against just taking a cup from the lake and drinking it
>>222915897Its so harsh enviroment and clean water you can easily make coffee or boil potatoes in it.We got no same probelms as southern still waters.Drinking from a stream or spring raw is safe here.
>>222915638>>222915897I know about the ways to desalinate sea water. But when I hear about "safe to drink" I think of drinking it unaltered/as is.
>>222916034>stream or springwhere is this not safe? as long as you’re in the mountains the only thing you have to watch out for is carcasses upstream.
>>222916034Would you feel comfortable living off this water 24/7? I can see it being mostly safe for most of the time, safe enough on a risk vs benefit scale to justify the odd drink, but living off of it surely can't be advisable
>>222915615Have you ever swam in one? The water is very clear, just dark reddish color. It's not muddy at all.
>>222916238Made it for babybellies, i drink lake water aswell.Can you imagine drinking even water straight from Garda?>>222916245I cant drink but finnish water, even expensive spring water from other countires taste like shit.
>>222916349garda is an extremely crowded lake with a bunch of motor boats and probably at least some sewage runoff, it’s full of smaller lakes in the alps you could probably drink from. personally I don’t because I don’t trust still water, but I’ve drank from streams a bunch of times, even at lower elevation, as long as you know there’s no farms and shit upstream.
>>222905564I would, he looks like he would be fun to play water polo with. I wouldn't mind that we're swimming in Coca Cola.
>>222905564I don't want to get covered In bacteria
>>222914753That doesn't contradict what I said. The humic substances make it brown but the IRON in the humic substance is what gives some lakes a redder color. The more iron in the water the redder the color.
The water is that color for the same reason tea is. Its just tannins in the decaying stuff leeching into the water.
>>222916841Too late. The human body is covered in fungus, bacteria, viruses and organisms.
>>222916888The red comes from the tannins. >https://tanninaquatics.com/blogs/the-tint-1/the-tinters-palette-media-for-the-dark-artsTannins make water appear red or tea-colored because they are natural organic acids (humic and fulvic acids) that leach from decaying vegetation, leaves, roots, and wood. As water flows through wooded or swampy areas, it steeps in these plant compounds, releasing pigmented dissolved organic carbon that tints the water.Even in lakes with basically zero iron content. The only time iron really colors water is in deep groundwater wells surrounded by iron-heavy rock.But our Nordic lakes do NOT get their color from iron. It's purely organic discoloration (and no, it's not iron released from the plant matter). > https://www.ogeecheeriverkeeper.org/tannins-and-blackwater-rivers/
>>222905564Finland is so rich they swim in whisky
>>222917092not only nordic lakes, in the mediterranean, brackish water ecosystems like coastal marshes are pretty much the same color, because of tannins as you said.
>>222917225Yep. The only real lakes and water sources you can actually see and bathe water in colored by minerals are extremely heavy in metals like copper, zink and lead. And old mines turned into "lakes" like picrel.
>>222917092>The red comes from the trannins. LOL
>>222905564Are Finns human ?
>>222917092>But our Nordic lakes do NOT get their color from iron.They do. It's a well known fact.
>>222918226Ok source and fact check please.
>>222906913Thirdies not used to non-brown rivers seething at this post LOL
>>222912218>Brown disgusting water with weird shit in it is totally normal! See!?
>>222918301https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20442041.2026.2637537>The effects of iron on water color in lakes and rivers: inferences from experimental and observational studies>The proximate cause of this browning is increased concentrations of highly colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) made up of large, complex molecules known as humic acids.>Increased concentrations of iron (Fe), typically accompanying organic carbon, also add to the browning effect. Fe has strong chromophoric properties with increasing absorbance towards lower wavelengths (Kritzberg and Ekström Citation2012, Xiao et al. Citation2013, Weyhenmeyer et al. Citation2014). Processes causing increased runoff of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the major component of DOM, will generally also promote Fe mobility, thus further enhancing light attenuation. DOM composition also affects the Fe binding potential because molecular size and aromaticity affects the affinity for Fe (Pennanen and Frisk Citation1984, McKnight et al. Citation1992, Riise 1999, Riedel et al. Citation2012). In addition, pH will affect Fe speciation because H+ and Fe ions compete for anionic binding sites on DOM (Shapiro Citation1964, Saar and Weber Citation1982).>The comprehensive study of Xiao et al. (Citation2013) concluded that the Fe contribution to CDOM absorption in freshwaters is generally <10% except for some extreme cases (a DOC-poor, Fe-rich spring). Others have suggested that Fe in boreal freshwaters constitutes up to 25% of total light absorption, but with high variability (Kritzberg and Ekström Citation2012). Generally, the relative impact of Fe decreases with increasing DOC (Horppila et al. Citation2023).In short, iron usually has a lesser effect on the "browning" than organic compounds but iron absorbs light at lower wavelengths making the color more red than brown.
