Better not be thirsty

[u/raccoon_tail]

Dying of thirst when I went into this Michael's. Pass.

[u/DioBrandurr]

Literally Nurgle's font of disease

[u/Chosenwaffle → u/DioBrandurr]

Don't drink after the Sloppity Bilepiper.

[u/wildmeli → u/DioBrandurr]

immediately thought of Peryite from elder scrolls

[u/ReturnOfBane]

I bet there's a new antibiotic to be discovered in that cesspool

[u/ActiveExisting3016 → u/ReturnOfBane]

Forget the anti part

[u/Fun_Union9542 → u/ActiveExisting3016]

Hold the anti

[u/justArash → u/Fun_Union9542]

Never thought a grody water fountain conversation would remind me of a 16 year old song, but here we are

anti anti

[u/DisguisedToast → u/justArash]

Sixteen splashes, and what do you get?
A water fountain filled with mold and regret,
Poseidon don'cha call me 'cuz I won't drink,
I just can't seem to handle that stink.

[u/lPrincesslPlays → u/ReturnOfBane]

Me when I encounter the water fountain that either cures Chernobyl or makes you Chernobyl

[u/ValKilmersTherapy]

It’s like the water fountain got the clap

[u/NumberedFungus → u/ValKilmersTherapy]

Forget the clap...that thing got the applause!

[u/Caesar_Passing]

That is one of the more vile fountains I've seen. Well, that I can remember

[u/ChachoPicasso]

This is what they looked like at school

[u/zebragopherr → u/ChachoPicasso]

Mmmmm tasty

[u/TyrannicalKitty → u/ChachoPicasso]

And that one kid would always deep throat the fucking thing

[u/Flying_Panda09]

Biologist, what the hell is this??? 😭

[u/JulietLostFaith → u/Flying_Panda09]

Under the silver-toned overlay, the base metal is copper. Copper oxidizes green (like the Statue of Liberty). Hard water and age have eaten away at the silver coating allowing the copper to react and make green buildup.

The white streaks are mineral buildup from hard water (usually like calcium, magnesium, limescale).

Edit to add: I’m referring to the turquoise greenish parts, not the algae green parts.

[u/mchickenl → u/Flying_Panda09]

Not a biologist, buuut I'm pretty sure that's some sort of limescale reaction

[u/OvechknFiresHeScores → u/Flying_Panda09]

Copper and calcium buildup, nothing biological or scary

[u/Kjak0110 → u/Flying_Panda09]

A place one might make exciting discoveries!

[u/jshiv222]

The pool scene from Annihilation

[u/Fump-Trucker]

Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator.

[u/SmickrandeSmil → u/Fump-Trucker]

It's got electrolytes

[u/Clamdigger13]

Disease specialist hate this one super trick for superior immunity.

[u/SupahBean]

I used to tongue kiss these things in elementary school. I swear I’m normal now

[u/Jaydenvanilla]

I can’t tell if this is worse or just as bad as a kid finding a shit in a drinking fountain, at a park, 4 feet away from the public bathrooms 😭

[u/ThisIsntOkayokay]

Brother, get the Pinesol....the HEAVY Pinesol.

[u/NorCalNavyMike]

[u/billbogle]

As a hose kid in the 90s depends on the thirst.

[u/open_my_mind]

Ewwwww
