It's actually not even good for them. It's entirely for the presentation to the humans that buy them. It makes them spoil quicker and is also just a waste of water.

On the upside: They feel pretty good as a human on a hot day.

This! These things are a big pet peeve for me. Such a waste.

They also installed sprinkler system for tourists at some tourist attractions in the very hot summer of 2015. Except they also did this at the Auschwitz camp. It was quite the uproar.

People were upset they added misters to Auswitz for the museum tourists? It's not like they were spraying them with lethal poison like they used to at that location. Sounds like a moment where it only was weird because people made it weird.

One Jewish visitor said that she had lost many relatives to the Holocaust at Auschwitz and that the water misters looked like the showers are family had had to endure before going to the gas chamber. Many Israeli visitors who have experienced the water misters have criticised them as distasteful.

Nothing like a shower at Auschwitz.

Make sure to tie your shoelaces together so you can find both your shoes after!

I wonder just how tone deaf you have to be to install water fixtures designed to provide comfort at fucking Auschwitz of all places.

I hate this thing. Love our local market, but they use these and it's so annoying to have soggy everything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Veggies weigh more and thus cost more? Win/win. Oh wait...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never really see them in use anymore.

I don't either, but I am in California and I don't know if it's because they also learned it makes shit spoil quicker (literally I learned this from working at a grocery store that had them), or if it's a legal thing to conserve water.

I'm in the Bay Area and we still have them in high and low end grocery stores. At Safeway they even still play the fun little thunder sounds before it starts.
