I do believe that's a dunking in the rad tank. The town militia says you provide it rad free no exceptions.
Going out on a lomb and saying that there is no way they are switching out any filters on those stations.
Idk, generally when a company tries a subscription server /this/ cheeky, they at least provide quality maintenance since margins are so batshit insane anyway. Then again enshitification has been basically coined in the last year or so... Maybe I'm just too optimistic
I like the implication there's no filter on the tap water. Filtered public water fountains do exist so these guys are either lying or have put in a sub par product just for extra money.
Tech making our lives worse every day.
It’s fake, so no need to change filters.
I hate how subscriptions invaded like fucking everything in life!
"You will own nothing and be happy."
Subscriptions truly suck. It should be taxed to help fund UBI so at least the people get something outta be fucked out of ownership.
That and tipping
More spots to fill my water bottle for free? I guess that's okay although I'd prefer regular drinking fountains with enough clearance.
Ugh that's such a tech bro company name too.
Good news, it’s fake
Thank goodness. It was almost too parody, but the problem is the real world is a parody of itself at this point, lol
Fully agree, it definitely got me at first. The site and app don’t exist though, and the only record of it are a couple articles with no proof that it ever really existed!
Plot twist: It's the same water.
It would be cheaper...
Uses the term capitalism correctly and is actually funny
... Where am I....?
You can buy multiple small tubes of superglue for a dollar at the dollar store.
Are you suggesting that one should superglue the buttons so the device can't be used, or simply providing a price comparison with a more valuable liquid?
Suggesting with a bit of superglue, this device could be put out of service.
Oh don't worry, I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A subscription for cold water? Get fucked!
