Well obviously it can be made, but I’m not ordained, and I wanted to make it via the multiplication method, so that my coffee is blessed by the pope. I drink a lot in a day, its not feasible to restock it at a church.

So, first of all, I’d like to point out I’ve done way too much research with this, I make my daily coffee with holy water for funsies, holy water blessed by TWO popes. I’ve looked into catholic websites, interviews, read through every relevant bible passage. Trust me when I say, I do not know for sure. Every source that even approaches this little bit of nuance seems to assume a pour is instant. In a way, that makes sense, because we cannot dilute it. So, the reality I’ve concluded is that we have to do the same. Therefore, flow rate is irrelevant, if I take a whole hour to add a liter of water to 999 ml holy, I ruin the batch.
Instead, the device I’ve imagined (but not tried to build, as of yet) to continually produce holy water would use essentially a mini 1-liter toilet tank setup with a reeeeaaaallllly slow drip emitter as an input, so that the “flow” isn’t continuous, it’s discrete droplets being added to the holy tank, and the bobber that toilets have is set to keep like 100 ml as a minimum to this tank. Then we prime it with holy water and every drip is less than the size of the tank, so holy water is constantly growing, and then whatever output I have can only get holy water and can never deplete the tank.
Also you can’t pour holy water down the drain, that’s a sin, it has to go into the ground directly. Churches have a dedicated holy water drain that isn’t connected to actual plumbing and goes straight to the ground. Following the rules for that is actually quite annoying.


It cannot be diluted, but it can stop existing.
1000 ml holy water + 999 ml of tap water = 1999 ml of holy water, but
999 ml holy water + 1000 ml of tap water = 0 ml holy water.
So to make all water holy water, we first need more holy water than water, which is hard.
Absolutely.
Wikipedia isn’t wholly unprotected from vandalism and other such attacks, they always keep a post history, users without an account are logged, admins can lock pages or ban people, and I dunno all the details but some things can cause an automatic rollback, but yeah.
There’s nothing stopping me from messing with styles, content, inserting external links to things. If I do it in a way that’s against the rules, there’s also nothing stopping someone from reverting all my changes in a couple of clicks and banning me or my IP. If someone was truly malicious and used a VPN to dodge bans, that’ll get a page locked from everyone and make edits need to be approved, which is much more common for political pages.
But yeah, Wikipedia is open, and that means open.
It can just not without someone noticing. It’s one of those “against the rules, not against reality” kind of things, so it makes sense it was reverted quickly.
I get it, it’s easy to confuse me and him, but I’m actually not the pope.
I specifically set out to use his holy water, not anyone else’s.
Also, its easier to add 2 parts holy to one part tap to get 3 parts holy than it is to involve salts, since I want my coffee to taste good.
