...water isn't blue 🀨

...have you been drinking blue water? 🀨

It is slightly blue, it's just only noticeable when it gets deep enough. So yeah we've all been drinking blue water lol

Water IS blue but not enough to explain why the ocean is as blue as it is

While relatively small quantities of water appear to be colorless, pure water has a slight blue color that becomes deeper as the thickness of the observed sample increases

Wikipedia

The color of the ocean is due to atmospheric scattering affecting blue light (short wavelength) more than longer wavelength.

Ok so it wouldn't affect a small pool like in the picture.

Keep moving those goalposts

I'd expect no less from a feddit user

If you bothered looking at the first image in intrinsic color it would show you that youre wrong, but you seem to know better
