I really thought this was real.
I think we just found our new Breeathe Free CEO!
ew single-use cups
For an extra $0.99 a month, they will underpay an immigrant to let you drink the water from their cupped hands instead.
What would you consider adequate pay for someone to rent out their hands as cups?
We need a community called “Capitalism Gone Wild”.
This is the kind of thing I find enraging to the point of vandalism.
vandalism against large corporations is beautiful and moral
Amen
“REE” is right. I have a 10 pound sledge that can fix this RIGHT up. Just doin’ my part for humanity.
No filtered room temp option is the real crime.
WaaS
Nestle approved
HAHAHAAHHAHHHAHHAH
The pinnacle of innovation if you ask me.
It’s 100% the same water
They add lead to the free side.
Flint Michigan loves this simple trick.
Tap water all the time
“Reefill” sounds like something out of a wojak meme.
“I’m reefilling my water bottle with mineral water from 1000m deep!” - the reefiller wojak
It more sounds like you’re making fun of their intelligence: oh, you’re going for a REEEEEfill?
This photo is about 8 years old now. I’m pretty certain Reefill did not succeed as a product or a company. It barely got crowdfunded and then fizzled out a year later.
While the apps are still in store, there doesn’t seem to be any website except for an indiegogo, and the Techcrunch article is from '17.
Maybe they should have focussed their efforts on carbonated water to combat the fizzle
It would’ve just delayed them running out of gas.
I bet that internally the mechanism must be like this
Reminds me of when I saw a Mountain Spring Water filling station ornamented with a picture of a snow-capped mountain at a Wal-Mart about 500 miles from the nearest mountain and nearly 2k miles from the nearest snow-capped mountain. The thing had pipes out the back going into the wall. That was straight city water that maybe that dispenser filtered a little more if it was properly maintained.
A good filter can do wonders.
Living in an area with very hard water, yes.
Nah, you’d notice if the water wasn’t chilled.
The real trick is to build these in places where the tap water is naturally cold, and to heat the free stuff.
Wait isn’t tap water always naturally cold?
Nope. Especially not in Texas in the summertime. The pipes are close enough to the surface that they warm up (unless you have well water, which is always cold).
Weird. Where I live they bury it eight feet deep so it doesn’t freeze in the winter so it’s constantly chilly.
Yeah but you live in hell
You can always put more clothes on. You can only get so naked
Water comes out of my tap at 103f ok the summer , Arizona.
And degazify if it’s naturally sparkly.
at my university I can tap chilled water for free!
Want $0.25 in your account monthly?
Introducing sink water! It has been treated with hand sanitizer, soaps, human waste including semen parts, shed skin particles, mucus, dandruff, sweat, spit, ear wax, blood, pee, and feces!
Missing mood stabilizers, ibuprofen, Tylenol, basically medications.
God I wish there was a source of water that has trace amounts of random medications, just imagine it as an energy drink alternative.
You would think all the data they steal from you when you install the app would be payment enough
My theory is that the new method for data vacuuming is charging a benignly small fee to make it appear that you’re paying for a service and not getting raided, as opposed to using a free service where you assume they’re harvesting you like an apple tree.
Yeah when the fuck are sandboxing being implemented correctly in telephones smh
Its available for some phones with extra work.
- Maybe earlier. Apple and Android phones have been heavily sandboxed from the start.
Exactly!
Interestingly, I was looking for this right now and realized that they don’t have an app for Android and I couldn’t get the information that the App Store offers about the app’s permissions (probably invasive), not to mention that it probably has to connect to several dubious servers to upload data it collects from the user. I say it because I know how this business model works.
I was going to look it up and share but I think they went under. No app on iOS either and the URL takes you to a wix placeholder page
they went under
Serves the fuckers right. If only the same would happen to Nestlé Water…
Spoken like someone who knows nothing about how apps work.
How do they steal the data then?
Most of the time they don’t.
