I’ll never forget the day in elementary school where I saw a kid casually put his mouth directly on the spout. Then it dawned on me: “There are probably others like him.”

These things and kitchen sink blenders are the two most mysterious things for an European child watching US-Shows.

Why don’t y’all have water fountains?

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 days ago

I at least understand the water fountains and experienced them a few times here and there but the sink blender waiting to chop your fingers is a total mystery.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 days ago

Garbage disposal? They have limited utility, but save you from having to transfer food scraps from the sink to the trash or compost.
The built in ice/water dispenser in the refrigerator is the one that mystifies me.

Water fountains are a U.S. thing? Never knew that. Is just filling bottles at sinks more common in other countries? Do people not drink on the go as much?

We had something like the first one when I was in high school. When I was a freshmen, I saw another student drop his pants, hop up on top of it, lower into the spout so it went ALL the way up his ass, reached around and turned the water on for a second, then lifted off and shot a wave of shit-water all over the basin/wall behind it, then hopped down and ran off giggling.

Yeah...

Haven't used a water fountain since.

I'm afraid you actually unlearned to write. Are you sure you really can't read what I'm saying?

Honestly — how is this not just simple stealth product placement?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

I assume this meme was originally made by some hydro homie with a special interest, since it's not the type of product marketed to individuals.

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Totally agree. But separated from the hydrohomies group, some operations vp is looking at that thinking… “hmm… it’s time. I’ll call my guy.”

I mean the meme is kind of perfect for capitalism?

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Imagine some VP spending more than 5min here before realizing how unwelcome they are, let alone making purchasing decisions off this.

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Aren’t capitalists the target audience? Hopefully we’re not here just to pat one another on the back. We want to move people closer to the good side.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

What good side are you talking about? A future in which only governments control the distribution of water fountains?

I’m a capitalist anyway, but I don’t really see the downside of a world in which a company makes drinking fountains and people can buy them.

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

We agree on the goodness of water and a free market that makes the best water fountains available. My objection is the use of a Fediverse application serving up corporate advertising. It’s feels ookie… and this thread lightened me up. Someone pointed out the meme was likely made by hydrohomies for hydrohomies.

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I am very very sensitive to corporate astroturfing but frankly this macro seems pretty innocuous. Listing the models even enhances the comedy IMO

LMABF8 had the coldest water. I'm all for the EZH20 because I carry a bottle around with me and it's less likely to spread germs and causes less waste, but I feel like the water coming out of them is barely chilled. I like my water to be so cold it is borderline painful when I am drinking it.

Nothing hit as hard as coming out of gym class in high school and getting some fresh gulps of ice cold water from the LMABF8. Peak refreshment.

I work in the industry and I have no idea why anyone would use anything other than the EZH2O for indoors. The other ones aren't even any cheaper.

[-] Astronauticaldb@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

This comment just made me realize that the EZH20 is both the model type as well as a description of what it does lol

and at least on the EZH2O you can see the quality of the filter that hasn't been replaced since twas installed

a class a few years ahead of me got one of the ezh2os as their senior gift. probably the most used senior gift I've ever seen, we were a small school and everyone used it every day. I think it hit 500,000 uses by the time I graduated a few years later

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

Fuck those top three germ spreaders.

Bottle filler is life.

Do people ever install these in their house? That might be cool actually lol

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I don't know if there's a name for it, but I'm always fascinated to see people bring "public" stuff into their houses. Like a guy who turns his basement into an old diner, or maybe a mini-arcade with vending machines, etc. I saw one video where the person made their game room bathroom look like a public bathroom with stalls/urinals, multiple sinks, etc. It's eccentric and weird, but creative.

A water fountain would be cool too.

(Edit: how could I forget, AVGN building a mini video rental shop in his basement!)

I actually hate the EZH2O. When you go to drink it activates the bottle stream in the back and reduces the water pressure so you have to go down further to drink. Well when you do that the bottle stream turns off and the water pressure goes back to normal and you get blasted in the face full force. Reminds me of my college days.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Getting blasted in the face full force?

I dunno what they put in those newer buttons, but they feel so satisfying XD
