I thought I could save money by making my own fresh water. The plan was simple: a bowl, a cup, some plastic wrap, and sunlight. I followed the steps, convinced this would be my tiny survival win. Instead, I spent hours watching condensation that barely dripped. The cup collected maybe two sips. The rest of the bowl just sat there, warm and salty, mocking me. My kitchen window looked like a science fair gone wrong. I used up half a roll of cling wrap and made a mess with salt water everywhere. For all that effort, I got less water than a shot glass. I could’ve just bought a bottle for a dollar. Next time, I’ll leave desalination to the scientists. #DIYDisaster #HomeBudgetFail #BrokeButCreative #Home
