So I got an idea where I ask you guys a question every week, but not just any question; the kind of question that makes you think. I'll let you guys vote and discuss about said question for a week, then I'll reset the poll and put in a different question every week. Here's the first one;

Poll #1;
You are alone and hopelessly lost in a desert. It's only a matter of time before you end up dying of thirst, but your last remaining water bottle has been contaminated with an unknown substance, turing it green and making it smell like sulfur. There isn't an oasis in sight, and your only food is salty jerky, only making your thirst unbearable if you eat it. What would you do?


I would just end it right there and eat the jerky, because whatever is in that water will just make my already horrible death worse.
 
Drink the water, you never know what's around the corner.
 
I would try and ignore the thirst, and eat the jerky bit by bit when I get really hungry, then keep holding off thirst until I really need to drink.

Either way, I would probably die.

You never said how much the water bottle was actually filled.
Doesn't any amount of poison have the same effect though?
 
why can't you just drink the water

if it's unhealthy, you die anyway, so it's not like there's much of a difference
