FYI: Replacement Filters are $9.95 each so if you plan on using these long-term it’d be best to buy several sets at this price than DOUBLE the cost for 3 replacement filters.

When I get those mysterious placeholders for images, if I’m curious enough I right-click on them and take the option of opening the image in another tab. That usually works to show the image. (Sometimes after doing that, when I return to the previous tab, the image now shows there also. One of those computer things, I guess.)
As to hidden accessories, a lot of the nuns at my elementary school used to keep things up their voluminous sleeves, literally. Such as hankies or kleenex tissues. But no telling what else. Probably a spare ruler or two. Wonder if TSA searches there? Of course, nowadays most of those nuns travel in civies.

Hiding things in sleeves - I’ve read that kimono sleeves were used that way too.

I saw the same image as linked by @pakopako when I right-clicked, but that was on my Chromebook running the Chrome browser.

I don’t use my phone for anything serious, but rather a CB or a tablet. Google gets relatively little info from me. I use protonmail and their accessories and duckduckgo search. I don’t login on my CB. I use an SD card for temp storage and proton for cloud storage. I have ZERO additional apps on my phone, tablets, or CBs. Alphabet will know I’m dead only by reading my obituary.
I quit on MS PCs a while back but now need to revive one so I can do some Office stuff. Not thrilled about dealing with MicroSucks again. Is VBA still a thing?
To be specific, I’m also using a Galaxy (A16 or 17) but the Firefox browser lets me “right click” (hold over the broken image link); browsers Chrome and Brave do not allow right-clicking on a broken image link (though by view-source:URL you can see what’s there too)
@Kyeh I don’t think this is a phone operating system issue, just a browser one. (iPhone also has Firefox available, though I wouldn’t be surprised if Safari saw the link with a long press)
Curiosity sent me on a quick search on how to drink from these bottles since they look like you’d squeeze them to get the water out but I was wrong! Turns out that YOU SUCK (literally) to quench your thirst. The product may also suck which is why meh has them I suppose.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At first look I thought these were the airwhick air fresheners . They do look pretty weird . I heard they whistle while you drink too . If you like bringing attention to yourself these are perfect !
from their site - Even other bottle filtration systems, though effective in purification, still suffer from the fact that, like source bottled water, the tap water is clean but ‘dead’ water. nkd Pod+ filter takes ordinary water, cleans it, reconditions it, and supercharges it as you drink. Taking it way beyond all other bottle filtered waters, which simply carbon filter tap water.
you can probably hear my eyes rolling through your monitor
@visioneer_one I was on a health kick a while back. My health guru put me on a Dead Sea plan. All I was allowed to drink was Dead Sea water. He would retrieve the water from the Dead Sea and mail it to me along with these fancy water bottles that breathed pure life back into the water. He convinced me that I’ve never felt better! Alas, my guru ended up doing a 20 year hitch at Leavenworth. The Feds say you can’t use the US Postal Service for illegal purposes; never could understand the law against mailing water.
These filters claim they’re good for less than 47 gallons of filtering while life straws claim 1000 gallons for a single straw. Even at $5 a piece, I’m struggling to justify these. I suppose you can’t have too much water emergency preparation. Maybe these are good for your needy unprepared neighbors who are like,
“boo hoo! I have a family! We’re dying of thirst.”
Then you can shut em up by tossing them one of these cheapies.
Product Review:
Received my 3 pack of the black/clear model yesterday. There are no filter instructions printed on the box, so I was unaware that I was supposed to rinse the filter under the tap for 30 seconds to “activate” it as I just read on this page. That seems key to alert the end user of this seemingly important step. Filled with my tap water, refrigerated overnight and brought 1 into work with me. It took me nearly 30 MINUTES to pry the spout cap open! I have strong female hands in my opinion. Not a weakling. So that’s the primary reason these bottles are sold here. Nobody can open the dang thing! I had to scoff when I read the key highlights typed above:
Simple one-touch functionality for quick and effortless use. hahaahahaa NOPE!
Additionally, yes, you must suck with force to pull the water through the filter and down through the 1/2 inch tall drinking nipple-knob-lump spout. It’s silent when full, but as you near the end of your water, it does squeak while sucking. Sucking is mandatory. Tipping upside down or squeezing the bottle over your mouth does nothing. Water tastes good. No complaint on taste.
@summerVibes I got these last time around and had a tough time opening them, too, until I realized how the mechanism works. You can pull down on the little latch and then push it in like a button. Then the lid flips open. At least for me. But it’s not intuitive, and if you don’t push it in enough, it doesn’t release. Probably not great for folks with gripping issues, either. Like… hand grip issues, not like “issues that won’t let you go because they’re so intensely captivating.”
@elizabethalina Mine are defective. I had tried sliding the button while pressing, pushing the button after sliding it down, tugging & squeezing solely on the lid. It was a challenge to pry it open. Now it won’t close when I try to lock its latch.
I thought these were rather small at 20 oz. But wifey says that if there’s a power outage during El Nino, which there probably will be multiple, then we can take water out of the swimming pool and purify it in these bottles and not die. They’ll be perfect to go along with all the emergency lanterns that I bought last week at Costco. Now we just need emergency food, or just more pew pews to hunt our own.

These are some penguin-ass looking water bottles. Pass
@dpease unless you’re another penguin. In that case penguin-ass might sound pretty good.
@dpease @pmarin
Apparently, they are quite sensitive to your needs.
@dpease @macromeh @pmarin
Well, that was different.
Kinda wondering now, exactly what were those needs of Lyle?

They look like nuns to me.
@Kyeh
@Kyeh No, you can easily tell the difference IME because these aren’t carrying thick wooden rulers to whack your hands with.
@phendrick Maybe it’s hidden under the scapular? (I have no experience with nuns, myself.)
@Perfect_Timing I can’t see anything there except a little blue box with a question mark in it.

Huh. With a siphon pump, you could probably turn the filter into something you can use in a cartridge.
I always wanted to be locked into proprietary water filters from an off brand manufacturer, that cost more than the product originally did.
@EvilSmoo Then you came to the right place!
/showme several nkd water bottles that are embarrassed to realize that they are indeed naked.
@phendrick Here’s the image you requested for “several nkd water bottles that are embarrassed to realize that they are indeed naked.”
@mediocrebot @phendrick I would drink that!
At first look I thought these were the airwhick air fresheners . They do look pretty weird . I heard they whistle while you drink too . If you like bringing attention to yourself these are perfect !
I bought these before. They might filter the water, but really annoying to use–and the kids wont use them. Pass.
Let me get this straight, 3 for 15$ and replace filters for 30$ , so but 3 , it’s like getting 3 free

@accelerator What if it was dehydrated water?
@pakopako Steven Wright had some powdered water but he didn’t know what to add.

@summerVibes things shouldn’t be this difficult.
Meh isn’t a strong enough word for how indifferent I feel about today’s deal.
Honestly a stack of cardboard boxes sounds more enticing.
@user20368848 You should be able to get some good boxes for $15. Maybe even avoid any draconian shipping costs.
