Water Filter
artefact.jpeg
Info.txt
Water Filter: Massive water shortages and recurring droughts have forced most countries to rely on reusing and reclaiming water for their daily needs, including drinking water. Research has proven that drinking reclaimed water (including the water from your commode) has no side effects and does not harm one's health. The water smells, tastes, and looks like other waters. Once people were made aware that they are consuming reclaimed water on a daily basis, hospitals started overflowing with health complaints and no diagnosed problems. To stop this madness, the Pure Water, water filter was created. The filter emits blue light around the dispenser hole and the sides, this color calms people down and increases their trust, the filter also releases sounds based on the Hz tuning theory that signal the brain to release dopamine and serotonin - this increases peoples trust in the water and has a calming effect on them.

Instant Noodles with Meat Scented Candle
artefact.jpeg
Info.txt
These noodles are packaged in a seaweed or tapioca or other edible plastic wrappers, the noodles are dropped into warm water and the packaging dissolves to enhance the flavour of the noodles (yes, Maggi comes in Maggi masala edible plastic packaging so you don't have to open an extra packet). When the government created the new waste disposal rules of only 100grams per year the sales of the most instant and junk food items experienced a massive decline in sales because of their packaging, so companies moved to edible zero-waste packaging. The packages also come with music codes or watch codes that recommend playlists or mealtime viewing content to enjoy with your food. These noodles are mock meat flavour, to combat global warming, India banned the consumption of meat and became a 100% plant-based country, to enhance the meaty experience companies provide food with small meat scented candles that last for the duration of the meal but intensify the meat flavours.

However, certain things such as an oven breaking cant be avoided, but one can repurpose it into many things instead of having it lying around as a piece of junk. The resident has created a herbarium out of the oven, a great way to grow herbs and easily access them on your counter top.
