Anytime I see memes like that, I am thankful I live in a country where I can just drink tap water.
What kind of water do you think is coming out of these?
I thought their whole point was that they filter the water because you can't drink the tap water in the US?
The fuck? No...?
The US is clownish and backwards in a lot of ways but this is not one of them.
Then what are those for compared to just a sink?
For conveniently drinking out of them and filling water bottles in public buildings like schools and hospitals. They're really common in NA, what part of the world are you in?
By googling it, it seems these will filter out some forever chemicals that are a problem pretty much everywhere. It will also cool the water, which might be beneficial if your tap water is a bit on the warmer side (which mine is and it's infuriating, I want to drink near-freezing water)
Note: I'm not American and don't have one of these, just googling.
