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

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

that was a horrifying read

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

i guess that explains why nobody wears masks anymore

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

One we can make it work either way. :p

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 33 points 2 weeks ago

200 townspeople 1 cup

[–] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Give it time, we're headed back that way

[–] goober@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

So is she

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

What you dont use the publicup?

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] gareppa@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly this photo bomb is my favorite part of the picture

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That is a woman who knows how good she looks.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah she looks fine as hell.

[–] PotatoSkins@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Woo those old wood sidewalks.
