Well, I don’t drink that bullshit so I couldn’t care less.
That’s rich coming from the “why not cum from where we pee?” Species
You say that like we’re the only species who do that, which very much isn’t the case.
If breathing and eating don’t get separate holes, piss and cum certainly aren’t getting that luxury
At least in males they aren’t getting that luxury.
females don’t pee
Right, because pee is stored in the balls
…do I want to search up what a cloaca is?
You do not.
Ok thank you.
Legendary exchange
It’s the omni-genital.
The Wikipedia article describes the biological act of a “cloaca kiss,” which may or may not be exactly what it sounds like depending on an individual’s imagination.
Why are you making me look this up?
Damn you sir or madam.
Wound up looking at a page of animal dongs.
Amazing
What the hell!?
I clicked the comments just to share my fun “cloacal kiss” fact!
Ugh. I’m going back to reddit.
Even if you know what it is, it may surprise you that more that one species can breathe out of it.
Even humans can absorb oxygen through the intestines
It’s one of those words where whatever you first think of when hearing it, is probably fairly close to the real thing
Do it. Knowledge is power.
I feel like the context of “the opposite of 1 hole per beverage” gives a good vague explanation. Another is “how I pictured women’s anatomy before I took a health class.”
As long as you’re not studying biology, you get a pass on this one.
I don’t care what it comes out of as long as the machine is properly and regularly cleaned.
I am afraid your out of luck either way.
I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.
All of that is unholy because the Coca Cola company is pure shit.
Was this explanation accurate?
It gets worse. They hired hitmen to kill trade union leaders in Colombia.
Cloaca-cola, as envisioned by Pininfarina!
I just want water man
water man
You can use the term “Aqua Man” to sound fancier.
Aqua Homo if ya want to be extra Latin.
Nah, that’s different. Water man is the grown up version of the water boy.
Is it bad that I saw that movie in the theater, but without your link I would have never pieced that together?
Eh, that’s just called getting old. Sorry for your loss.
And the water always tastes like shit out of these because they don’t clean the tip. On the old style it was always sharing lemonade or Powerade and you could just run the line for a second or two to clear it
Do what I do, and let some water run down the drain to clear the nozzle first before you fill your cup. It only takes an extra second.
I literally said that, but I was implying it doesn’t often work with those all-in-one machines
Sorry I have ADHD. Didn’t finish reading before I commented.
Water fucking rules, man.
…well? What are the rules?
Here you go. List formatting added:
- “Be like water making its way through cracks.
- Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.
- If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
- Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water.
- If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash.
- Be water, my friend.”
― Bruce Lee
- The first rule of Water Club is that you always talk about Water Club.
- The second rule of Water Club is that you always talk about Water Club.
- If someone is sweaty or peeing yellow, the fight against their thirst is on.
- Only two cups of water (is not nearly enough)
- One cup of water at a time is plenty, but you should drink more
- No shirt, no shoes. Don’t want to get those wet.
- Drinking will continue for as long as the subject is not properly hydrated.
- If this is your first glass of water today, you have to drink it.
That’s just plain science!
you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts
I love those machines. Diet cherry decaf vanilla etc etc etc…
You can find some unusual things on there!
It’s also annoying to use, slower and can’t serve multiple people at the same time.
I like them, but I’m always behind someone who looks like they’ve never used technology more advanced than a telegraph before
I think the extra annoyance is counteracted by the gains in customizability IMO
Where else are you going to be able to get Peach Sprite or Vanilla Fanta?
Or diet everything.
Almost any gas station has those syrup pumps, and here in Utah, we have a soda shop (like Swig) on almost every corner.
It’s because of mormons! I’ve seen it on the YouTube!
That’s actually more true than not. These soda shops are essentially an alternative to coffee shops for those who believe drinking coffee and tea are bad. It’s the same caffeine fix, but without being coffee or tea.
Now I’m wondering what the Mormon position on GamerSupps is?
Not sure if joke about waifus or legitimate question about energy drinks…
Would you believe me if I said it was both?
I thought tea was illegal in Utah.
You’re thinking of magnets
No, and soda isn’t tea anyway. Not sure what you’re getting at.
check the username…
Ah, lol. 🤦
Tea being illegal in Utah.
This is very much a Utah thing. Specifically because of Mormons. Do you think every other state is like that?
Most gas stations definitely do not have syrup pumps.
The machines used to be relatively fast. But over time they’ve gotten slower and slower to the point it takes multiple seconds to respond to a touch.
Where I am, they had popped up all over the place at first but have mostly disappeared since then and the ones that remain barely have any flavour customizations anymore.
My guess would be that they came with predatory subscription fees or some shit like that that resulted in them costing more than they brought in and most businesses cancelled their subscription or downgraded to the basic version that just acts as a shitty version of the old style.
Either that or they are difficult to keep clean and result in a lot of flavour syrup going to waste when the less popular flavours expire. Or a combination of the two, maybe with HP-style machine-enforced expiry dates on the syrups that are tuned for profit rather than safety/quality.
They’re apparently massive pieces of shit and very unreliable. But that makes sense for a product with a Pininfarina product. (yes I know they do the outsides of products not the insides)
Yeah, we had two of these replace the old school style drink stations at the hospital I work at. They had to bring back one of the old machines because the new machines were causing so much congestion in the cafeteria. Pretty sure the hardware in these predate blackberrys, they take forever to recognize any input from the screen.
Plus if you are just trying to get water, it gets slightly contaminated from whatever beverage the last person got. Especially if it’s blue powerade for some reason.
why are you getting plain water from the soda machine when there HAVE to be semi-decent water fountains in a hospital? the powerade splashed water is on you at that point.
Water fountains aren’t usually positioned as part of a cafeteria line. They are also slower and have weird angles, not always being convenient to fill up a cup from.
My hospital doesn’t really have very many water fountains. I think there may be one near the public restrooms on the main floors, but I think that’s it. We have a water cooler in my clinic’s break room, but no water fountains near the cafeteria.
I work for a state run hospital in one of the poorer states in the nation. We don’t have a lot of amenities… And unfortunately not a lot of people drink water here.
Especially if it’s blue powerade for
That’s amusing, because it always seemed like blue powerade was the default nozzle for the ‘water’ option at the other style of machine, so it was getting that contamination there as well.
Who doesn’t like Caribbean blue drinking water?
Aren’t those the ones made to collect data from users with a camera?
Unlike my ex wife
The only reason why I like them is because I can cherry all the things. Cherry Coke, Cherry Sprite, Cherry root beer… You get the idea.
(I also like that cherry lime drink that several restaurants advertise under different names as their “exclusive” beverage. On the top of my head I know that Jack in the Box and Firehouse Subs both have it, with their own branding slapped on the name.)
That’s the reason I originally thought they were cool, however, in practice, they almost never allowed you to mix anything with anything, and it was purely a limit placed in the software. I couldn’t cherry anything but coke and dr pepper on any of them I ever used. I couldn’t add lemon to anything but the already raspberry flavored Fuze tea. I couldn’t add vanilla to the root beer or have grape flavored sprite. Shit pisses me off, because it wasn’t that they didn’t have a certain flavor, the interface just didn’t show the flavors available for every possible soda on the machine. Especially when I would see people elsewhere with them setup in the way you really want, where you could cherry everything. 😬
So, NOT great at an orgy.
The self serve suck for high volume but personally I hate when people butt in while I’m getting a drink. Wendy’s seems to do a pretty good job but they are Crew serve units(for drive through) upside is more than eight flavors.
This hurts as someone who fixes both.
Confirm this for me. It’s not one hole per drink on the first, isn’t it? It’s two per, since one is for the creamy thick syrup, the other is for fizzy water.
That’s why you basically end up with soda water if the syrup is out.
That’s correct, no?
100% I was going to mention this but didn’t wanna seem to nerdy.
If you are interested in learning about them search up lancer lev and you’ll see pics and manuals.
i love some of the newer dispensers but you can’t fuckin beat classic valves. On or fuckin off brother no in-between. i don’t need no gentrified machine, give me bare stainless and black plastic with a decal and I’m happy.
i just rebuilt and installed a fountain and icewell combo original built in 96. shits built to last and is always repairable, freestyle machines break so easy, it’s all tiny parts and plastic.
I love it. I think it would be pretty awesome to have a drink fountain for home.
Not sure I could get the wife approval on that…
Just get a drinkmate, you can buy sryups online. Easiest way to have fresh soda.
That seems like the same thing as soda stream, which is far more popular where I am.
I don’t want soda stream, I also don’t want this drink mate thing. Far too manual to make soda when I want it.
With an actual soda fountain: I set it up, and beyond refilling the supplies every few months or so, I wouldn’t need to think about it or do anything… Just fill up my cup and go.
On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.
If you are drinking any of those drinks you deserve to drink from the cloaca. Just drink water, it won’t hurt you.
Oh boy, someone with a differing opinion on food/beverage that I can shame for liking things other than water
