    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?

      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. Nobody will buy a water fountain just because some people online think it’s funny

      Imagine some VP spending more than 5min here before realizing how unwelcome they are, let alone making purchasing decisions off this.

        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.

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