I close my eyes like going in for a kiss.
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
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.
And I'm not twerking for anyone but myself! You can look, but don't touch the goods without permission.
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.

PAWNEE RULES
I BLAME EAGLETON FOR LIL SEBASTIAN!!!
Proper etiquette requires some degree of suction, which is also kinda sexy, ngl
But that is the most efficient use of the water!
Counter-counterpoint - this is clearly satire.
Also, yeah, nothing is more unmanly than caring about looking manly.
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 run across. No ladies, that is not normal.
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.
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.
Urinal? I thought it was a manscaping station!

I thought water fountains were verboten after the covid.
which is ironic, because that's not how covid fucking spreads, at all
My office building still has them and people fill up their water bottles.
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.
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
You get them a lot in gyms for obvious reasons.
still not a thing in europe, we just use the sinks in the toilets.
That seems kinda gross.
do you think it's gross to wash your hands in the sink? if not, why is it magically gross to drink the water from the tap?
Makes it easier to swallow the protein during an intensive course?
I think it probably depends on what kind of gym you're going to. I don't get invited to those kind of gyms.
These are not legitimate concerns.
Yeah, I hate when that happens in a shitposting community!

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.
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.
