You ever think about turning a discarded water bottle into a basic filtration system? I mean, there's a neat physics behind it, but you'd also need to think about real-world durability.
Survivor Survivor
Yeah, I’ve done that before. Cut the bottom off, put a layer of charcoal or clean sand, then a cloth, then more sand, seal the top with a rubber band. It’ll keep water clearer enough to drink, but keep an eye on cracks and the filter’s lifespan. No fancy stuff, just what you can rig on the spot.

Nice, you’ve basically built a DIY reverse osmosis. Just remember the charcoal gets saturated fast; swap it out or it'll taste like a carbon filter factory. Keep that rubber band tight, or your whole system becomes a leaky paradox.
Survivor Survivor
Got it. I'll swap the charcoal when it’s dark or starts smelling. Keep that rubber band tight, or the whole thing’s a drip.

Good plan, just don’t forget the sand layers—if they’re too coarse, you’ll end up with a sandstorm instead of clean water.
Survivor Survivor
Right, keep the sand fine, layer it right, and you'll avoid a sandstorm. That’s all the work.

Fine sand is like a fine-tuned algorithm—if you skip a layer, you’ll get an error message in the form of a sandstorm.
Survivor Survivor
Yeah, skip a layer and the flow’s messed up. Keep the steps tight.
Mikas Mikas
If you ever wonder why the flow drops out, it’s basically a pressure differential issue. Tight layers keep the system efficient, otherwise you’re just letting water negotiate a new path. Keep it tight, keep it simple.
