The water supply system is one of the greatest inventions in history. amirite?

I think the very simple answer here is that people forget about it. Most people here probably never had to go without water, I know I wasn't thinking about it until right now. Rationally I think I've always known how much of a luxury it is, but I never mentally counted it among one of our most groundbreaking technological strides, even though it is. Whenever I've been thirsty my entire life, there's just a magic lever in the kitchen, I never even think about pipes being connected, it's just magic water. It's just default, it's there, all the time.

Same for plumbing, now these marvels are considered basic and people don't care about their environment until it goes wrong

Nah. People always point out the greatest old inventions are farming, fire, indoor plumbing, and vaccines (if you consider it old). Glass is one of the old inventions people do forget. On its own it's not that special, but it is amazing for optics and being able to hold liquids without leakage.

It's not that they disagree, it's just not the thing they say. "One of" makes this quite popular

I feel like the water supply system isn't one single invention. It's a culmination of knowledge that all come together to make something great.

One of the worst! Now all the fuctards aren't dieing young. We are way overcrowded now. A bit of dirty water and we could get rid of most Citidiots.
