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.”

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 73 points 3 months ago

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.

How do I unlearn to read?

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

Public high school in a sketchy area. You'll see some things.

I also don’t, simply because my high school had a string of vandalism where some kid was pulling all of the water fountains out of the walls. Like he was just ripping them straight out. There’s no way they could support someone putting their entire body weight on it to shove the spout up their ass.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Your school's infrastructure was apparently even shittier than mine. In any case, he was a skinny little high schooler - that thing could have been screwed into drywall and still supported his weight.

...and if you don't think a water fountain spout could fit up someone's ass, I've got some foreign object removal stories from working in the OR that... well, you probably also wouldn't believe, but you'd be amazed what an anal sphincter can accommodate.

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 3 months 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

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Good naming of the product I'd say

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

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

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 months 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 months 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?

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

[-] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] dborba@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Hell yeah - you'd smash that bar & hear a industrial condenser turn on to supply you with artic cold water.

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

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months 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 months 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?

The germaphobia in me really want a version that is activated by a pedal that you step on.

But then, I'd probably be too afraid of shared water fountains to begin with.

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 months ago

it's funny that I've seen all of these in real life, though I rarely ever used them due to the obvious hygiene issues

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 23 points 3 months ago

Weak.

Is this a sponsorred post?

If so @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world what's the takeaway?

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

Big water fountain is targeting Lemmy.

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

They know their target demo, we're all hydrohomies here.

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 17 points 3 months ago

Reminds me of my college days.

Getting blasted in the face full force?

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Unless you are stuck in an all-day meeting with hundreds of stressed out, immunocompromised, most likely sick people all wanting to drink from the EZH2O/EZS8L pair next to the closet bathroom and there is a pair of VRCHDTL8SC down the hall and you are going on a two week Christmas vacation at the end of the meeting.

Then the VRCHDTL8SC is the boss.

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

The second one reminds me of elementary school because we had exactly that model.

Yeah, as long as they change the filter. (Most places don't, and don't even know how to.)

[-] superkret@feddit.org 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The C in the first model name stands for "Colored"
