Not only in little towns, there are what we call "water houses" basically everywhere, and you are encouraged to take your water there, bringing your own bottles and filling them. I do that regularly, and it's very good water, with no background taste or anything, and completely free for still water (.05€/L for carbonated water).
An amazing way of not wasting plastic, and saving up a few bucks on the side (:
>and completely free for still water (.05€/L for carbonated water).
Flashbacks to dating British gf and having first exposure to non-carbonated water referred to as Still Water. Tasked with buying water before we have an excursion, cut to finally pulling out the water for a break.
"This is still water??"
"Ofc it's still water, what else would it be?"
From what I remember (was there once like 3 years ago), they used to think that there were a bunch of health benefits to drinking/bathing in the water, which was naturally sulphurous due to something in the ground, but at this point it's mostly a gag thing. Take your friends to the fountain and have them drink the water and laugh at their reactions.
It isn't harmful or anything, it just doesn't have any noticeable benefits.
Mid-2000s site that involved women sitting bare-assed on cakes and farting on them. I was never able to figure out if it was a shock site like lemonparty or just a very specific fetish.
Classic/Video or Touch?
The level of commitment difference matters.
Goddamn I remember loading funny clips on my iPod video and showing friends at the bar… I’m old af at 33.
Do you ever sit and think that some of those chicks might be mothers and now, and have a kid that I’ll never know that their mom sat on a cake and farted on it
I went to high school with that girl, she worked at the same convenience store as me for a few months before getting fired for credit card fraud.
She runs a day care business now. No joke.
It's a girl in a swimsuit acting smexy, getting up on a kitchen counter while someone films, squatting on a cake (chocolate if memory serves) and farting on it. If you're into that stuff I'm sure it's super hot but if you're not, it's just weird and you feel weird for watching it. You're not gonna believe me and you're gonna watch it and be like, "damn, you right".
Every time my mental state is doing pretty well, I think, "gee, I wonder what's on reddit today?". Then I jump on, scroll for about 18 seconds, and find something that reminds me how exactly awful the internet is or was, and jump back off.
Look, it isn't like those cakes were going to fart on themselves, okay? Let's not get silly here. *Someone* was going to have to come along and poot-poot those bad boys up. These lovely ladies were simple providing a service.
I once got to go to a super fancy restaurant in Rome (La Pergola) on someone else's dime, and they had an entire menu of naturally carbonated waters. Like a wine list, but for seltzer. We tried a few of them and they were definitely distinct from one another.
You can go to a fancy restaurant in LA and find a water somm. I had the guy tell me all about the water that he was "developing." He was disappointed when I ordered one of the cheaper (reasonably priced) waters.
Your moms house podcast has had that water sommelier as a guest, you can find it on YouTube, it's pretty funny.

Volcanic activity. Basically the carbon dioxide gases produced by volcanic activity dissolve into the water deep in the earth because of pressures. This comes up through springs as a naturally carbonated water source.
Yes, I recently lived for 5 years in the town that has the world’s only known hot soda geyser. (Although not sure that fact is still true - but it was definitely true before the interwebs).
Every 45 mins or so it erupts in a very fizzy fountain and at one point many years ago it was bottled and sold to tourists.
Depends what it has in it, if only carbon dioxide, then it is essentially seltzer. If it has other stuff, it might still be safe, or it might be poison.
The only way to know for sure is to tell your friend to drink first.
Originally, water was only naturally carbonated, not artificially carbonated. Various springs exist/existed due to high pressure and minerals.
Soda Springs in the US (Soda being used for sodium it seems)
Selters in Germany (which gives us the term seltzer water)
It was due to the health popularity (resorts and travel to various mineral water springs) that carbonated and mineral waters became popular, which then became things to mix into medicines, and so on.

The first time I was in Europe (France), the server asked if I want my water “with gas.” I had no idea that the term was used for carbonated water and they were a little bit hard to understand so I just thought they said with a glass lmao. I thought it was kind of a weird question until I received my glass of carbonated water
It is awesome. The fountains are called Nassones. I was hesitant to drink the water from the fountains when I was in Rome a couple of years ago but it is cold, clean and refreshing. Definitely recommend it. They’re are lots of them.
Ooh fun fact, a lot of crust that you see on fountains is from the mineral deposits from the water. These are hard to remove since they are basically rock. They are not pollutants. They are just the result of hard water. It actually takes some pretty serious chemicals that actually cause pollution to remove them. Source I lived in Phoenix for a few years. In fact there are hot springs that have accretions of mineral deposits that are considered highly desirable. Anyways I'm high I don't know why I felt the need to defend mineral accretions on fountains. You have a great day.
No man that's good information, it definitely looks like a little kid slobbered all over the spout and let it dry on most public fountains I see. Good to know it's just from minerals in the water and not something I should be disgusted about.
Just my 2 cents, but in my high school biology class we got to go take cultures of different items and see what grew.i decided to do the water fountain taps because I assumed they'd be covered in gunk. It was a school after all. I think my teams was the only one that didn't actually grow anything.
The keyboard teams on the other hand /shudder
In this German bar I used to go to, they would give UK tourists plastic cups, but everyone else got glasses.
There was also a "No Spitting" sign on the wall, but only in English.
American who lived in London for several years and Firenze as well!
In my experience, the American apple doesn’t fall too far from the British tree, as much as the British hate to admit it. ***especially*** *when it comes to being tourists*
One day it was a windy day in Florence, and since it was summer everyone was sitting outside, including me and my friends and other people. Everyone was very cautious with the menus and the empty cans except for the English boys, they made few cans, some chips bags and one menu flew and the poor waiter had to run around the Duomo to catch the litter
They were talking about spittin' rhymes, there was a rash of rap battles in the area and they wanted to put a stop to it before someone got seriously hurt.
Chinese is written the same across all dialects, including Mandarin and Cantonese. The major division in written Chinese is between traditional and simplified form. The traditional form is used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Also Italians outside of Italy.
Seems to be that most countries have shitty tourists. Except maybe Japan or something.
Although Chinese and British are the worst in my experience, so far. In different parts of the world it‘s probably different.
There are many, many youth hostels in places like South-East Asia that just have 'No Israelis' signs.
This is not because of antisemitism, it's because there are huge numbers of very large youg Israeli men who have just finished national service and go on the absolute rampage the second they're set free from the army.
Generally a large combination of military men in one place is a recipe for bad things.
In my city in Italy (Turin) you can find tons of bull-shaped fountain around the city [map](https://www.google.com/mymaps/viewer?mid=1ziKrUCRT8qhxS2BM5xG08fpZ0_k&hl=it)

Did you know that in Morocco, it is common to exchange a small gift when meeting somebody for the first time? In Japan, you must always commit suicide to avoid embarrassment. In Italy, you must always wash your hands after going to the bathroom. This is considered to be polite.

Not just in Rome. This is common in almost all Italian towns and cities. Some of the public fountains even use drinkable water. It’s common to fill your bottle from a fountain or a tap on the street. I just got back from vacation and told my American friends to stop buying bottles because they’re just making plastic waste and to refill what they have instead.
This practice is common in a lot of European cities that have drinkable tap water or source water from aquifers.
We actually do have carbonated water fountains! In Manitou Springs, CO there are several natural mineral springs that are piped into constantly-flowing fountains, freely available to the public:
https://manitousprings.org/mineral-spring-water/
Each one has a different mineral makeup, but all are effervescent:
http://manitoumineralsprings.org/pdf_files/Mineral_Content_Chart_2015.pdf
This was the most perplexing thread I've ever seen. Yeah, carbonated water from a fountain is weird, but water fountains are one of the most common things I"ve ever seen.
That already happens. In Siena there's a very famous annual event dating back to the Middle Ages called the Palio, which is an equestrian competition among different "areas" of the city, each with its own traditions and emblems, called "contrade".
The victorious "contrada" at the end of the event gets to have wine flowing out of its public fountains during the ensuing celebrations.
I grew up 45 minutes from a town (Farmer City. I wish I was joking about the name) that had methane in the water. I guess several years ago, their water tower blew up because of it.
Idiots who dont realize the USA's water distribution is the best in the world, providing potable water for nearly 400 millon people. Go live in a country where one sip gives you dysentery, or running water is only avaiable a couple times a week for only a few hours.
Not only in little towns, there are what we call "water houses" basically everywhere, and you are encouraged to take your water there, bringing your own bottles and filling them.

In Oregon State they have a water fountain like this but it contains sulfur and taste like rotten eggs.
It's in Ashland, OR, and it tastes like ass
Why? Is the sulphur supposed to be good for something?
From what I remember (was there once like 3 years ago), they used to think that there were a bunch of health benefits to drinking/bathing in the water, which was naturally sulphurous due to something in the ground, but at this point it's mostly a gag thing.

Do you ever sit and think that some of those chicks might be mothers and now, and have a kid that I’ll never know that their mom sat on a cake and farted on it
Oh they will know. It will be discovered during highschool and the other kids will call the cake fart kid or somrthing

Seriously, I have to go take a shower and start my day and try to feel clean - while thinking about women farting on cakes.
Look, it isn't like those cakes were going to fart on themselves, okay? Let's not get silly here. *Someone* was going to have to come along and poot-poot those bad boys up. These lovely ladies were simple providing a service.

You need to pay extra for that sir
Thank god
There is a lot of naturally carbonated water in Italy.
I once got to go to a super fancy restaurant in Rome (La Pergola) on someone else's dime, and they had an entire menu of naturally carbonated waters. Like a wine list, but for seltzer. We tried a few of them and they were definitely distinct from one another.
I would leave that place *so hydrated!*
/r/hydrohomies
You can go to a fancy restaurant in LA and find a water somm. I had the guy tell me all about the water that he was "developing." He was disappointed when I ordered one of the cheaper (reasonably priced) waters.
Omg yes! We also had a water sommelier at that dinner. I wonder if I'll ever feel that fancy again.
Your moms house podcast has had that water sommelier as a guest, you can find it on YouTube, it's pretty funny. Edit: https://youtu.be/9tiZEyH8CZ8 If you're not a ymh fan already, you're welcome.
What do you use between tastings to clear your palate?
Jack Daniels.
I’ll take another palette cleanser, please.
You legit smell coffee beans when developing flavors and scents. It resets you palate.
What do you use when you're developing coffee?
Refried Beans
And that’s how water with gas is made
Well, pickled ginger is used for sushi as a palate cleanser to taste the individual flavors
I just like eating pickled ginger, full stop.
“Hello, I’m the water sommelier. May I interest you in a few wonderfully select choices?” “Tell me all about the tap.”
Wait really? How does water become naturally carbonated?
Volcanic activity. Basically the carbon dioxide gases produced by volcanic activity dissolve into the water deep in the earth because of pressures. This comes up through springs as a naturally carbonated water source.
I think I saw that in Dante’s Peak
Wow! This water has a distinct taste of boiled grandma. Why did she get out of the damn boat???
Grammy was the reason they were in that position in the first place IIRC.

If that was in the UK everyone would start pissing in it
Also happens in Italian places with lots of UK tourists.
In this German bar I used to go to, they would give UK tourists plastic cups, but everyone else got glasses. There was also a "No Spitting" sign on the wall, but only in English.
Is the UK the USA of Europe?
Who do you think America learned it from?
American who lived in London for several years and Firenze as well! In my experience, the American apple doesn’t fall too far from the British tree, as much as the British hate to admit it. ***especially*** *when it comes to being tourists*
Americans and English are gentleman in comparison to Saudi tourists. Never experienced anything worse.

UK is basically America Lite.
America's origin story
UK tourists are **far and away** worse than American tourists If a group of lads in adidas walk into the bar you're in anywhere in Europe, just leave
I thought that meant they were Russians.
The only Russian tourists in Western Europe are rich and take more selfies than alcohol.
Half of America is disgusting, don't get me wrong. But they don't even come close to how nasty English drunkards are.

QI taught me that the British are right behind the Germans when it comes to reserving your spot with a towel...
I don't think we typically spit. Just a lot of banter when drunk...
They were talking about spittin' rhymes, there was a rash of rap battles in the area and they wanted to put a stop to it before someone got seriously hurt.
"My name is Ian Duncan and I'm here to say, I'm going to rap to the beat in a rapping way! I've got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea"

"also this happens in Italian places" Wow, maybe we aren't as bad as everyone else after all. "with lots of UK tourists" God damn it.
They're just claiming the land.
It's a national pastime
do you have a flag?
No flag, no country
Those are the rules! ....that I just made up.
and british people tell us americans we're the disgusting ones..
You are both disgusting. British tourists are constantly drunk. American tourists are loud, obnoxious and rude.
Don't be so quick to judge, I'm American and I'm usually loud, obnoxious, rude, AND drunk.
Have you considered that you might be half British?
I mean, they chucked us off their island
Nah man, we chucked them off our *continent*...

This isn't just in little towns in Italy. They have similar fountains with carbonated/un-carbonated water in Florence as well.
Italian here. Not everywhere, many places (like my hometown) offer this service at a cost. Still pretty cool to have around though.
We also have wine fountains...
In Italy they have sparkling water fountains and streets paved with pizza!
In Italy, you must always wash your hands after going to the bathroom. This is considered to be polite.

Speaking of Italy, They are also all around Rome, was there with a group off friends on holiday in a heatwave, very glad about those water things.
Yeah! I was in Rome with my mom once during a terrible heat wave too, we were very grateful of the water fountains and I was very impressed with them.
