Tap water all the time

To be fair: if this design was the price for free water everywhere I would pay for it. I want a world where I can get free drinking water everywhere so I don't have to carry it.

When I was in Rome there were just public water fountains everywhere. Good quality water, accessible to everyone.

Meanwhile my shitty little European town has recently installed a fountain for drinking, filling up your bottle and also with a dog drink station, completely free.

They have those at a lot of parks that I take my dogs to in my state in the US too. Usually free poop bags too, and yet half still can't be bothered.

Why does it say "Woof Woof Bow Wow" on the dog bowl, if I may ask?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 hours ago

So that dogs can understand its purpose.

Where I live in Canada has started turning fire hydrants into free drinking fountains during the summer for the last couple of years.

"Reefill" sounds like something out of a wojak meme.
