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

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.

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.

How do I unlearn to read?

Edit: Solved!

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Weak.

I glory in my conquest of our communal bacteria.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days 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.

Is this a sponsorred post?

If so @[email protected] what's the takeaway?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Big water fountain is targeting Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

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

EZH20 sensors suck ass. Maybe I'm just going full boomer, but they waste a lot more water than the rest.
I have a 20% chance of getting no water out, 20% chance of it running for 3 minutes straight after I walked away, remaining% chance of it prematurely cutting off midway thru filling for 0 apparent reason at all.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Genuinely curious as to how you're struggling with them. I've had them struggle with clear bottles, but putting aligning my hand holding the bottle with the sensor straightens everything out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

No I know it's user error/skill issue, but I feel I'm pretty consistently just placing the bottle in the same place in the same way each time with wildly random results

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Perhaps they're a thirsty ghost?

That reminds me of my weirdest reaction meme:

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago (3 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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Good naming of the product I'd say

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

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

The top 3 are all this.

[–] [email protected] 116 points 3 days ago (3 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.”

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

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

Fuck those top three germ spreaders.

Bottle filler is life.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

The bottle filler is activated by proximity. I think that's totally doable for the other part, too.

🤮

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)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You are actively destroying your immune system. Now that's irony!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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 =)

Tell that to my boss.

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