The first 3 pictures are the same
Ah, you’ve never used the LMABF8
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”
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.
…huh?
…what…?
Public high school in a sketchy area. You’ll see some things.
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.
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?
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.”
Did you by chance grow up in Pawnee? relevant Parks and Recreation clip

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
Weak.
I glory in my conquest of our communal bacteria.
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.
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.
and at least on the EZH2O you can see the quality of the filter that hasn’t been replaced since twas installed
This comment just made me realize that the EZH20 is both the model type as well as a description of what it does lol
Good naming of the product I’d say
Until they come out with a new model that poisons everyone by remaining true to its name.
Australia rejects your hierarchy.
And there’s always one that some kid shoved a piece of mulch in so it sprays everywhere.
Oh yeah the fucking tanbark.
Like cattle to the trough
Is this a sponsorred post?
If so @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world what’s the takeaway?
Big water fountain is targeting Lemmy.
They know their target demo, we’re all hydrohomies here.
Fuck those top three germ spreaders.
Bottle filler is life.
I dunno what they put in those newer buttons, but they feel so satisfying XD
*Chnk* oh hell ya here comes the water
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.
🤮
I have to use paper towels to open doors, and probably use hand sanitizer afterwards on top of that. This is just… (no words to describe)
You are actively destroying your immune system. Now that’s irony!
I’d rather not touch the bathroom door handle especially knowing quite a few people walk right out of a stall and skip the sink. It’s a very easy way to get sick.
My brain decrees that touching a public door handle will kill me so this is my life 😓
(I blame covid for this)
Medical advice from a stranger on the Internet, so take with salt to taste:
You may want to talk to a psychiatrist about screening for OCD. There’s nothing wrong with staying sanitary, but you deserve to live life without your brain forcing you to do things you don’t want to =)
you deserve to live life without your brain forcing you to do things you don’t want to
Tell that to my boss.
That whole episode was one of the best bits of television in history.
Oh fucking hell!!!
The bottle filler is activated by proximity. I think that’s totally doable for the other part, too.
I just use my knuckles, maybe even with my sleeve or shirt covering them.
Elbow for me XD
Thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot-pole for me.
The top 3 are all this.
