Bill Gates Drinks Human Waste Converted Drinking Water, Would You?

"Billionaire Bill Gates has put his body (read: mind) on the line to trial a machine that turns sewage to drinking water in the matter of minutes.

Footage released by the Gates Foundation shows the computer programmer-turned-philanthropist take a tentative sip of water from the machine, coined the Janicki OmniProcessor, knowing that just five minutes earlier that liquid was human waste.

He purses his lips for a moment before cracking a smile of relief.” *

We drink treated waste water all the time. That's how the water cycling process work.
This is just another method so don't make it a huge icky deal, YOU ALREADY DRINK WASTE WATER!

[buckeyefan]

Bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase "that's some good shit".

[wseguys]

Everything you drink has been inside of somebody at some point.

[darkblood]

Every drop of water you have ever drank has been through at least one person before you.

[MariaEngstrom]

Biggest problem is that the water is distilled, that means it lacks essential minerals and is unfit as drinking water. Using distilled water as drinking water is lethal -- not immediately, but pretty soon. 

[doodelay]

When you realize that water is H2O and is just molecules. And that contaminated water is just H2O with many or a few unwanted molecules, drinking "poop water" isn't so horrific after all. All they do is take out the unwanted molecules and leave nothing but water molecules again.

[sonicase]

e. cola? lol
it's e. coli...or maybe you were thinking of ebola

[corthew]

Why was there a camera cut between pouring it and him drinking it?

[projectptube]

did they not watch the video? you can see that the water comes from evaporation and that a worker is not involved in evaporation. sometimes i wonder about Anna and Cenk.

[TashkaEntertainment]

The thing is from what I understand on the video, the water from the waste is evaporated. If it has been heated to evaporation, it sterilizes it and doesn't contain any sort of waste. It shold be on par or even better quality then average tap water in america/

[IMDRanged]

All part of "trickle down economics."

[glentreb]

All water treatment plants in the US purify poop water, and we drink it daily.

[swiggitymcswaggerson]

I know that we've always been drinking sewage water. I think the difference with this is that it's a small compact machine and not an entire factory/plant.

[Evolution]

2:12 "Ecola outbreaks" Lol... the only thing worse is those Eboli outbreaks in Africa...

[Dhost]

I'm really confused, I was under the impression that tap water was recycled from waste already.

[CuriousMoth]

Wow, you can filter water. Amazing.

It does make you wonder about homeopathic medicine though. I mean, if water has memory, has it just selectively forgotten all the shit?

[mar]

The technology has been around forever,

It's just super expensive to turn Sewage into drinking grade water compared to other sources.

And yes, if this takes off I would drink it.

[montage]

This is the same guy who brought us Windows Vista, Windows ME, Internet Explorer, and The Zune. Is it a good idea to trust him with someone’s drinking water?

[Vazzalmighty]

We have the same machines in the developed world but we call them water treatment plants or dam's. It doesn't matter where you live or how expensive your water is we are all drinking poop water.

[tomaalimosh]

2:13 "Ecola outbrakes"?  :)) Or, maybe you mean E-boli?
