It’s lacking all sorts of minerals, electrolytes etc that the body needs. I doubt a glass of the stuff wouldn’t cause problems but if you only drink pure water then you’re going to start having problems pretty fast.
Depends on a lot of circumstances – weight, kidney and heart function, temperature, activity. The people I saw developing hyponatriema drank more than 4–5 l tap water. Desalinated water will cause problems sooner.
It's difficult to say and drinking a bit of sweat with every sib would help a lot.
The experiment is that some of your cells in a dish with excess of pure H2O will suck themselves full till they explode due to osmosis.
@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@issotm whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa why did they get to assume that it’s going to be liquid? I am reliably informed that people like to put solid dihydrogen monoxide in these containers. (I suppose gaseous dihydrogen monoxide is also possible, but I have not seen that in person in one of these containers.)
if it's pure H2O I don't think it's safe to ingest either
The 2nd version of this container should add purity percentage.
Why? How much would be safe

The LD50 for pure H2O seems to be >90,000 mg/kg. (According to rat studies, so take it with a grain of salt.)

I think it has something to do about demineralisation, the water would absorb minerals out of the body
