Depending on the soda they have additives that have a variety of effects that water doesn't.

Huge influxes of sugar will cause long term health issues, a risk factor for diabetes for example, and weight gain which has it's own issues.

Caffeine has an effect on your brain chemistry, generally your body over a long period of time will "adjust" to the presence of caffeine meaning that you will require caffeine to feel normal. You are addicted to caffeine.

They also have other additives that essentially dehydrate your body. So you will intake water, quench thirst in the short term, but you will be thirstier after 30 mins than you would be with water. Meaning you drink more.

The long and short of it is that Soda's (even diet) are basically designed not to hydrate you, but to make you want to drink more Soda.

For the most part your body doesn't care about where it gets it's water. About 17% of your water intake comes from food. The issue is the other compounds in soda.

Water is mandatory for a human being to survive, it contains all the minerals your body need. The soda is kind of the same except you add a load of shit your body doesnt need to work properly ( sweetner etc...) several studies have show the impact of such additives on health... just check about aspartame.

There is ketosis, and then there is ketoacidosis, aka DKA. Acidosis is bad and is caused by the body breaking down fats for a source of energy, which causes ketones to build up in your bloodstream when there isn't enough insulin in your body. Acidosis acidifys your blood.

After an 8 week hospital stay, in which I came out diabetic, I developed ketoacidosis within 20 hours, requiring another 2 day hospital stay. I felt hot, had unquenchable thirst, and generally felt as if I was dying.

DKA is a life-threatening condition that usually always requires a hospital stay.

It died a quick death. Virtually nothing used JPEG-2000 when it was new, and nothing uses it now except to deliver backwards compatibility with 20-year-old images.

JPEG is still the principal image format in 2022, with PNG a distant second, and webp (Google's format) being used for perhaps 0.00000001% of images.

For animated image files, there's a transition happening from GIF to GIFV (GIF Video, aka mp4). There's also APNG (animated PNG) but that's used 0.00000001% of the time.
