Is that cup tied to the pump? Is it a public cup? I think I'm going to be sick.

Wait until you find out about penny licks

We share our diseases in this community. Only the strong survive!

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

i guess that explains why nobody wears masks anymore

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I personally wear a ninja turtle mask everywhere I go, but I’m down to share it.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

yeah let’s do it. is it wide enough for two people or do we need to take turns?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

One we can make it work either way. :p

200 townspeople 1 cup

[-] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago

Yes. Before germ theory and the 1918 pandemic, this was a common thing.

Give it time, we're headed back that way

[-] goober@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

So is she

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

What you dont use the publicup?

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I mean how clean do you really think that 1899 Chicago water is?

[-] gareppa@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

Let me guess, you don't use the three shells either.

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Find some peace by thinking the caption is wrong. I can't see her DRINKING. She looks like a model! She was only posing with the pump.

Is the kid doing a super rude gesture or just a weird gesture?

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

I vote he is doing the eat a pussy gesture. I can almost hear the "lap lap lap" sound.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago

He wants to drink from her cup, if you catch my drift.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I don't understand? So you're saying the boy is thirsty?

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Honestly this photo bomb is my favorite part of the picture

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

That is a woman who knows how good she looks.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah she looks fine as hell.

[-] PotatoSkins@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Imagine getting that dressed up just for a drink of water..

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago
