    I assume this meme was originally made by some hydro homie with a special interest, since it’s not the type of product marketed to individuals.

      Totally agree. But separated from the hydrohomies group, some operations vp is looking at that thinking… “hmm… it’s time. I’ll call my guy.”

      I mean the meme is kind of perfect for capitalism?

          Aren’t capitalists the target audience? Hopefully we’re not here just to pat one another on the back. We want to move people closer to the good side.

            What good side are you talking about? A future in which only governments control the distribution of water fountains?

            I’m a capitalist anyway, but I don’t really see the downside of a world in which a company makes drinking fountains and people can buy them.

              We agree on the goodness of water and a free market that makes the best water fountains available. My objection is the use of a Fediverse application serving up corporate advertising. It’s feels ookie… and this thread lightened me up. Someone pointed out the meme was likely made by hydrohomies for hydrohomies.

            I am very very sensitive to corporate astroturfing but frankly this macro seems pretty innocuous. Listing the models even enhances the comedy IMO

        I doubt the CEO cares about memes to market their water fountains. Especially on Lemmy, there’s ~40k ppl here and most would rather drink CEO blood over buying a water fountain.
        I doubt people will buy a water fountain just because some people online think it’s funny, especially when 99% of their profits are for new buildings lol
