Unnecessary hyperbole. Here's what's happening:

Article title: Not all water is good for you

Person A: What if I like water? I enjoy drinking it

Person B: Water in all contexts isn't great, for example you can drown. So what qualities about water do you specifically like?

You see how it's less absurd? Hopefully that's made clear now. For future reference, turning everything into exaggerated hyperbole is only going to keep you contained in your isolated bubbles online and make you all the more sensitive to any sort of pushback/disagreement/criticism.


Agreed, but I think that just removing the all caps would make this a good little sarcastic comment.
