Just wrap your mouth over the spout and you don't waste a single drop.

Thought that was JD Vance at first. Still not sure it isn’t.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Came here to say this. It's a perfect strategy until they start putting cages on them like at my last job.

Is there…more to this story?

[–] loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's a Parks and Recs reference. Here's a clip of the episode: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QoCOQb2u-N8

I can't see a water fountain without a mental 1 steamboat, 2 steamboats, 3 steamboats...
Though I always appreciated the ones who counted hippopotamuses instead.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Was that how long you could take to drink if there was a line?

Man, I haven't thought of that in almost 40 years!

Ours was always “1 2 3 save some for me”

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Hey! No cuts.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I used to do "one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc"

But then found it was better to so l switch it to "one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc" because then the count matches the time closer. In the first, when you say the count, you are actually one second earlier. Eg, "two" marks the end of the first second and the start of the second one. But saying the number after (one-thousand, steamboat, mississippi, or whatever) means you can just say the number you last said for an accurate second count.

That was the weirdest thing for me when I worked at a little kid's school. When I was a kid, we didn't have designated drinking time at the fountain. We just drank randomly during recess and lunch.

Thanks, Kohler!

Though I don't know why that bit of New England got it.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

And Australia! And I am from both.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago

This is surely going to always end well, especially with glasses 🤓.

The second saves water at the expense of your dignity.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Ha, the fools, you can't go below no dignity at all! 💦
