Yeah I forgot about oil particles (?) being ever present in kitchens

I thought putting milk in a kettle was weird enough. Putting unwashed dicks too??

The kettle doesn’t have whitish looking residue though. It’s spotty specks of grey that leaves chalky white powder on my finger when I wipe them, is that still limestone?

I don’t wanna know what that is but part of me is aching to know

Hava nice day??

I wiped them off with my finger the first time, it looks like chalky white powder.

The next batch of water we boiled looked fine. The batch afterward had this residue again

I wouldn’t rule that out, no idea how many tenants came before us. They could have boiled orange juice in them for all I know

Looks like a glass jar to contain water. Previous tenants could have used them to store literally anything so yeah, residual fats doesn’t sound that surprising now that I think about it.

Maybe I should be paying more attention to the stuff around me instead of only while I’m overseas 🙃

Ahh thank you! Kinda freaked out seeing so much weird stuff on the water’s surface. Out of curiosity would regular consumption of such water have any adverse effects?

It’s a rented apartment, so very likely the previous tenants have cooked near the kettle

Yo it came back. It looks like this

mfw I saw the surface of the water right after drinking a full cup from it

Another picture

Could you explain how fats would end up in kettles? Since tap water should be the only thing going in

Wow I just learned of Hard Water vs Soft Water. I googled and yeah its a moderately hard Water area. So I assume this is normal (or at least nothing to be alarmed about)?

The whole apartment looks pretty clean, but the base of the kettle looked a little funky. Only realised it after drinking a cup of water
