Choose plants that are native to your region. You will be surprised how well they do.

People certainly are polishing this meme to a high sheen. Anyway, tell it to the pothos ivy.

This should make us all very very afraid of what that water is doing to US!

(Especially if/when it is colored - last year my water became orange and started giving everyone I knew that drank it mouth soreness, I only wish I was kidding, and ofc it was traced to a corporation found illegally dumping toxic chemicals into the water reclamation systems, thus exposing the entire city to those effects. No, they never faced any legal consequences beyond the slightest slap on the wrist iirc, why would they? That is what finally tipped the scales and helped me realize: the USA is not a first-world nation anymore.)

The tap water killing plants is more commonly the chemicals put in it intentionally to keep it clean/stop us from getting sick and fluoride to keep our mouths cleaner

Only if you like more mundane (yet accurate) explanations:-P.

Outdoor plants are all burly and manly and hefty, hefty, hefty. Inside plants are weak and wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.

No, dracaena species in particular are sensitive to minerals and fluoride in tap water. I water my dracaena with bleach sterilized rainwater (after a livingroom-wide leaf spot outbreak a couple years ago). They're just fussy.

Plants outdoors don’t get water with nearly the amount of shit in it that tap water has.

Yes, even in Scotland.
