Counterpoint: it’s super manly to just own it and not worry about how you look. Whether you do tiny laps like a cat or big ol’ slurps like a dog, having the confidence to just hydrate yourself and not care who’s watching is kinda sexy, ngl

Counter-counterpoint: if you, on the other hand, wrap your lips around the spigot while drinking – you have exactly ten seconds to get the fuck out of my sight you absolute gremlin.

Proper etiquette requires some degree of suction, which is also kinda sexy ngl

this is why i twerk while drinking from a fountain, and when i’m done with water running down my chin and tongue drooping, i gently moan.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 days ago
And I’m not twerking for anyone but myself! You can look, but don’t touch the goods without permission.

Counter-counterpoint - this is clearly satire.
Also, yeah, nothing is more unmanly than caring about looking manly.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Wait…you guys DRINK from those fountains??? Huh.
This whole time I thought it was a penis washing station. Welp. That explains why so many people get angry at me…

Hijacking but I need to get this out of my system:
I was in a bar earlier and went into an all gender single stall restroom. It had a urinal with an absurd amount of pubic hair on the rim. I couldn’t shake the idea of women seeing it as one of the few urinals they’ve ran across. No ladies, that is not normal.

Urinal? I thought it was a manscaping station!

somebody is going to take this as racist, but it’s just a factual observation: washrooms with a high indian user count end up like this far more than those with a lower indian user count
I’ve got enough data points over the past dozen years at multiple facilities in completely different population groups to safely make that statement.
my point is that it is normal for certain demographics. before somebody comes at me, no judgement is being made in this comment, I’m simply pointing out that it is in fact normal in some places.

I worked at a popular bar and arcade chain. The women’s restroom needed to be closed down 5 times as often as the dude’s for emergency cleaning.

I thought water fountains were verboten after the covid.
ickplant@lemmy.world 3 days ago
My office building still has them and people fill up their water bottles.
NannerBanner@literature.cafe 3 days ago
Are they the ‘touch the handle, gentle arc across’ kind, or the ‘sensor begins smooth laminar flow stream into bottle’ kind? Because the first should be banned, ugh (I mean, not really, I still use the ones at the park), and the second is amazing.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
which is ironic, because that’s not how covid fucking spreads, at all

These are not legitimate concerns.

Yeah, I hate when that happens in a shitposting community!

The non-can-only-be-used-to-refill-a-bottle kind of water fountains being as ubiquitous as they seem to be, seems to be a uniquely American thing.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the UK since I was in school
echodot@feddit.uk 3 days ago
You get them a lot in gyms for obvious reasons.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
still not a thing in europe, we just use the sinks in the toilets.

Makes it easier to swallow the protein during an intensive course?

They really should just be water dispensers so people can fill a reusable bottle or cup. Water is such a basic, universal need that it should be readily available at all facilities that are open to the public. That’s generally the case, but I’d go a step further and argue that there should be a clearly marked water dispenser within an arms reach of each bottled water display. I buy bottled water sometimes, but it’s because I forgot my bottle. I use the new one as a temporary one.

I use the new one as a temporary one.
I do that too. Do you know anything about microplastics concerns? Like, do the bottles give off some substances over time? Should/can one refill them?
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It would be better not to use plastic at all, yeah. They definitely leach plasticizers from the polymer into the water, even if they’re BPA free. My standard bottle is stainless steel. I’ve heard good arguments for glass, but it’s too fragile for me. Aluminum bottles usually have a plastic liner. Nothing is perfect. I just try to limit waste and reduce harm.

There is no shame is enjoying a hot water fountain

Water fountains are a throwback for me. I haven’t drank from one since highschool.
