Do you still drink from public drinking fountains?

Do you
Assuming I come across one while I am thirsty, sure. They are no more or less dangerous than they were previously.
I usually have a water bottle with me if I'm out for long enough to need a drink. I'm not intrinsically opposed to using a fountain, but I couldn't tell you the last time I actually did. I do use bottle refilling stations if they're available, though.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.
Yep; I still use them, about as much as I always have.

No. Because I know that this isn't far from the truth https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a3654d22.jpg

Yeah, I don't swim in public pools anymore either. You animals.
Not in decades.

Definitely not. Have bottled water always with me now.

So a gym membership pool you would not use either, doesn't chlorination get rid of almost everything?

Nope; I always bring a stainless steel bottle with me.

It sanitizes everything. I'm still swimming in your pee. And on that note, your feces too. Careful not to get a pube in your eye.

This goes triple when you're shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of kids and the water is cloudy.

I actually like the color yellow because it's the color of the sun, but I was traumatized when I learned like 50% of people pee in the pool.

50 percent? , I was surprised by this number if it is true.

There's a church downtown with a fancy drinking fountain, there's a mechanism that switches on and chills the water, tastiest water ever.

Pretty much the same. Don't think I've seen any outside of school. Apparently they're not very common in the UK nowadays.

I haven't seen one in years but if I really needed a drink I would.

Never occurred to me they'd be far far less common in uk. You guys from UK, have you seen pop up toilets?

We had them but I haven't seen one in years. We also closed public toilets in my city due to unsavoury people going in them.

Yo mean switched to pop up toilets, are there any public toilets, you mean in the huge London metro area?

Saw one when I went to Milton Keynes for work last year, and I think they have them in London too. Not sure how common they are though. "Portaloos" are pretty common at building sites, music festivals, etc.

Yeah, though the only ones I encounter are at my local library, Walmart, and Meijer (and my local Meijer has a Coke Freestyle machine, so I don't need to use the fountain there)

If I'm extremely thirsty I will that said I think since Covid, I don't think I've even seen any.

I mean no pop ups or public toilets in my city. I'm a Yorkshire man.

Oh we have those. Not sure that counts as a pop up or public toliet as such.

Did you read about that bad pop up toilet accident, could have been France , maintenance worker.

I'd probably die of thirst before using a water fountain
I once saw a guy use a public drinking fountain to clean a wound. I cant look at a drinking fountain without thinking about that.

The sun is white. Any other color you see is the result of our atmosphere filtering out some of the rays. If you look at the sun from space, you only see white light.

But white is all the colours combined so it is still kind of yellow. XD

Haven't seen one of those in years. They're like payphones.
Only if Im desperate for a drink.

Strangely, I've only ever been inside of Earth's atmosphere so this kind of pedantic argument doesn't really matter.

A fellow midwesterner! Got to love Meijer.
It really depends. At a gym? Yeah they're usually fairly clean, and that's what they're used for. In like an outdoor park? That thing probably hasn't been cleaned in like a decade, plus it's exposed to the elements, so no freaking way.

Both of you like Meijer much more than Walmart?

I wouldn't say much more, but yeah, I do. For at least 3 reasons (in no particular order):

1. The aforementioned Coke Freestyle machine (no fountain pop at all at my local Walmart since the Subway there closed a few years ago)

2. One of the only places in town I'm aware of that sell Hormel pepperoni sticks (if not the only)

3. Since I have to take public transportation to get much of anywhere from my apartment, it's easier for me to see it coming when I'm waiting inside my local Meijer than Walmart

I think the meijer by me has a freestyle machine too. But it is always broken. I think even if it did work it is pretty expensive for it. Much cheaper to just get it at Mcd's. So the freestyle, coke by you is not that costly?

But obv, no free refill? The cup they give you for 1.69 is big? The Meijer by me that one hasn't worked in years.

If I'm not supposed to be able to get free refills, nobody's ever said anything to me about it. And the cups (or at least the $1.69 ones) are 32 oz.
