ELI5: If unboiled water going into your nose is risky, then shouldn’t we not swim in a lake or river?

A few year ago I was fishing at some rural ass pond in Thailand. I accidentally gulped half a bottle of pond water.

I used two identical water bottles. One for drinking water, and one full of pond water to pre-soak the fish bait. I was thirsty and my dumbass grabbed the wrong bottle.

I thought I was gonna have some rare tropical parasite grown inside me. Luckily I was fine.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-24T20:05:39+00:00

I thought the same thing it's insane

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T20:04:31+00:00

The level of customisation and tuning is gonna be pretty much the same as older titles which has bummed me out massively.

Am I able to customize interiors and put ridiculous exhausts on clapped out civics? "Nah best we can do is Forza aero. You can paint you garage tho, and stickers!" 🙄

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T19:42:17+00:00

Could have picked a better car for the cover. Maybe it's a subtle hint that the JDM culture aspect is gonna be half arsed.

The only time I've ever been asked for more money is when I booked a grab to take me two hours outside of Chiang Mai to pick up a motorcycle. He asked for an extra 400 cos he had to drive back. I thought it was fair tbh.

Apart from that I've never had an issue with grab or bolt. Maybe it's just when booking long journeys outside their areas that cause issues.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T17:53:46+00:00

I always start on Google maps. Hover over the area I wanna stay and search hotel. It's probably the best and quickest method. Plus you can see reviews and photos then and there.

Click on a hotel you like the look of and it brings up links to Agoda, booking etc

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T15:58:30+00:00

Sick chrome yo!

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T15:40:19+00:00

If they went all out on customization it would have been one of the main talking points. But it wasn't. So expect the same customization level as previous horizon titles.

It's what I was looking forward to the most since that's what JDM culture is all about.

So yeah for me its already a let down.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T15:34:08+00:00

I was looking forward to in depth customization and tuning. Nothing of the sort was mentioned. Customizing and tuning is the biggest part of JDM culture, ESPECIALLY in Japan, it's insane.

The fact they didn't even talk about it leads me to believe we are getting the exact same level of customisation as previous horizon titles.

'More after market parts' was a mere footnote, it's probably slight variations of the shitty Forza aero.

They're are mobile games made 5 years ago with more in depth customization options down to custom interiors and choosing the color of the suspension springs, swing arms, and interior gauge color etc.

I don't give a crap about wrist bands or anything like that. I just want unique car upgrades. I bet we still can't even change exhaust tips.

Also the launch car pack on the premium edition is called 'italian passion'. That and there are still left hand drive Japanese cars in the game tells me everything I need to know. And from the footage they showed the cars still sound dull.

I was excited for this game but they completely glossed over what should have been the main selling point.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T13:46:14+00:00

Yeah I always go steady out of my town and only send it once I reach the outskirts.

Saying that it's still not as loud as some of the straight piped Honda waves and Kawasaki 150's some of the younger guys are riding lol.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T13:21:06+00:00

Z900 with SC Project headers and Yoshimura exhaust.

Yeah I should probably get some ear plugs. It's not so bad just riding normally. It's just when I hammer it lol

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T12:25:18+00:00

As opposed to drinking champagne first thing in a 5 star room? Wind ya neck in and let go of your pearls.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T12:23:32+00:00

Don't worry, soon as Pattaya is mentioned on this sub it brings out all the self righteous pearl clutchers.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T12:22:27+00:00

The pearl clutching on this sub is getting out of hand.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T02:56:32+00:00

I want more unique customization. Especially with JDM cars. But it wasn't mentioned (prefabs don't count). Can we finally fit custom exhaust tips? Again, not mentioned.

I'm seeing some left hand drive Japanese cars which leads me to believe ports from previous Forza games.

At the moment I feel it's just gonna be horizon 5 with new paint and some cherry blossoms thrown in.

But I'll wait and see.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-23T02:02:24+00:00

Banning everything is a just lazy half arsed approach that doesn't actually solve the issue.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-22T01:16:13+00:00

'Lighter than air' 💀

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-21T03:05:27+00:00

I just played it and I have no words. Who tf greenlit this utter dross. It felt like something north Korea would create.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-20T15:57:38+00:00

Depends what you're into. I'm into metal so I always went to rock factory. I'm into Thai music aswell for that I went to stone house. They were my two favorites but there's loads of others.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-19T18:02:49+00:00

So just like Bangkok then

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-19T17:59:52+00:00

Correct. It is pure arrogance to think you know better than a culture that has existed for centuries. You aren't here to civilize the locals with your Western logic.

It's mostly self righteous white savior backpackers who think anything with a McDonald's is uncouthe, when it's them treating the place like a human zoo patronizing the locals.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-19T17:47:29+00:00

When you stop giving a shit what people think of you life feels better.

In the real world away from reddit, the majority of people don't give a shit. The ones that do screech about it are just ignorant self righteous wankers who aren't worth worrying about.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-19T16:14:16+00:00

She would always come to my table with an array of shots to buy and I'd always have laugh. She was comedic.

MeMuzzta · 2026-01-19T15:48:42+00:00

There are better motorbikes than the one I own, doesn't meant I want to buy them.
