dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

But that's not even true? Most businesses in the United States will just give you a free drink of tap water if asked.

where is this? touristy/rich people land?

"[Blank] for paying customers only" is the sign of the Real America.

  • Chairs/Benches
  • Bathrooms
  • Water

if you're not seeing it, you are in one of the amusement parks.

Lots of parks have those free drinking fountains with the bottle-filling function. Schools, hospitals, government buildings, and even Walmarts have them too.

Edit: these things

This is a law everywhere. Free drinking water is one of the few decent things in the us.

Some places may be hard ass about it, but just go to a fast food place and ask for a water cup. It’ll likely be smaller than a soda cup, but just fill it up again

it's the law but you have to be prepared to throw the book at slimy business owners to actually excercise it, especially when alchohol is involved

most food places maybe. i wouldn't expect a hardware store to give me a cup of water, but any chain department store type place has a water fountain somewhere

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

so do hardware stores lmao America sucks but there's literally water fountains in 90% of stores

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Well that's not true
