The first 3 pictures are the same

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 minutes ago

Ah, you've never used the LMABF8

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 hour ago

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

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

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 34 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

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.

Not even remotely the same but in the 90's mcdonalds still had salt and pepper shakers on the tables. I knew a guy who loved throwing them in the bag when he got up from the table along with the ten straws he grabbed and wad of napkins. He really was under some serious financial stress in no way due to anything he had done. I refused to use the salt and pepper shakers at his house and he kept bugging me as to why. I told him he didn't want to know but he insisted. Finally I told him about the time I saw some kids going from table to table licking the tops of the shakers. He immediately threw them all away. Later they started to reappear and it was because he figured out at the first of the month they replaced them and the new one usually had the seal left on them.
Before you trash the guy for doing that. The guy made 80 grand one year and could barely afford food. All that money went to paying his wife's medical bills. She had grown up inside the boundary of a superfund site out in new mexico and had all kinds of tumors and other problems. It was called a pre existing condition and his insurance wouldn't pay for hardly anything. They finally divorced so she could get SSI. That was in the early 2000's. This country sucked then and it still sucks.

Yeah no judgement for being frugal at McD's expense. 1) Fuck McD's, and 2) Do what to gotta do. There was a point in my life where I got meals from the condiment station at a college cafeteria. They had free ketchup, and a hot water dispenser thing for making tea, so I'd make 'tomato soup' by making myself a bowl of hot ketchup water. Couple handfuls of a single package saltines, and there's lunch. Life sucks when you can't afford anything, but it does make you become pretty creative when it comes to saving money.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 1 points 29 minutes ago (2 children)

Why did he need more than 1 or 2 pairs of salt and pepper shakers though? Why did Mcdonalds need to replace them every month instead of refilling them?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

iirc, they were those plastic shakers that didn't actually have a way to get into them - nothing to unscrew to refill it. They were designed to be used until empty, then discarded and replaced.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 21 minutes ago

I’m going to take a guess that throwing away little cheap plastic shakers each month costs less than paying a person to clean and refill them.

So into the landfill they flow!

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

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?

[–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Kind of interesting that these have been a thing in Europe. It's all just regular taps and the few ones I have seen weren't very popular.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours 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.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Weak.

I glory in my conquest of our communal bacteria.

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Hell yeah, I'm a goddamned fortress by now. I shrug off everything but a multi pronged attack, no matter how sustained. Pretty much have to be badly under slept, kept in tight quarters, and exposed to something virulent.

My immune system is like an advanced alien race just crashing through whole galaxies and annihilating weaker species. As it should be.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 72 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.”

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.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Astronauticaldb@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Good naming of the product I'd say

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 4 hours ago

Until they come out with a new model that poisons everyone by remaining true to its name.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Is this a sponsorred post?

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 23 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Big water fountain is targeting Lemmy.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

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

Australia rejects your hierarchy.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 hour ago

And there's always one that some kid shoved a piece of mulch in so it sprays everywhere.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

Like cattle to the trough

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

Fuck those top three germ spreaders.

Bottle filler is life.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] grrgyle 18 points 7 hours ago

*Chnk* oh hell ya here comes the water

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

The top 3 are all this.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Really what's the difference between the top 3? Other than buttons.

[–] ma1w4re@lemm.ee 9 points 7 hours ago

EZH2O WHEEEEZE
