What flaming dumbass decided that was a good idea to begin with, anyway? Like, everything else about this aside, who had the bright idea to pointedly combine "thing you drink or wash with" with "thing you piss or shit in", and what galaxy brained idiot subsequently gave the go-ahead to produce and install it?
racists appealing to more racists

Now, I'm all for mocking bigots, but I don't think installing drinking fountains in the toilet is a direct symptom of racism.

Points if you can show me it is, though.

Not caring about your prospective users to the point of doing damn stupid design like that probably does have pretty good odds of being pushed by racism, mind. Like, you're probably not going to try to peddle using that kind of thing on someone you think isn't subhuman to some degree. There's other options, but considering the actors involved... it's pretty high  up there in terms of potential motivating factors.

Conceptually could be other sorts of bigotry, or just peak capitalism shitting on people who can't do much to influence the market. The question would be if there's any other sector using those messed up things, or are they specifically being inflicted on ICE captives and whatnot?

Putting a fountain in the same stall as the toilet for 'efficiency' reasons does sound like peak capitalism. But still, hygiene issues. Does make one wonder why the hell such an idea was allowed to go through.

Probably both, when you think about it. Which is the worst combination.

It's a common design in places with limited space. Also helps save on plumbing. Only need one feed and one drain rather than a seperate one for each.

I'm not saying it's the best idea, but it's used fairly widely, and been done so for quite a while.

I worry that at some point someone's going to tell these lunatics that chugging bleach really triggers the libcucks because it makes you whiter inside.
This nearly killed me.

You joke, but there literally was a person selling "bleach cures" and getting people to poison their children that way. Was that this year?

That was indeed this year, and they're still going strong! It's also an entire organization calling itself a church, not just some dude. They've got a presentation date set for New York. WHO has been trying to advise people to not attend.

Were those the fuckers telling people to wash their children in bleach baths as a cure for autism, or is this another bleach-related scam?

Literally where, though? I've never seen it, or heard of it used outside of what's popped up lately, and would suspect only people without means to protest would stomach it (for a given value of stomaching rooted in a complete inability to fight back).

Wait, this happened, too? WTF? This is a reason why we can’t underestimate the max stupidity of humans.
Here are some links I found while checking if humans actually do this
here, here, and here

This is a problem religion and science denial can cause

You know, in most "normal" countries the police would attend the presentation and shut it down. Marking poison as medicine is illegal in most places. I'm guessing they're using a religious exemption or something. I suppose once you've completely bastardised your intellect with young Earth Creationism there's probably nothing left of your critical thinking skills so nonsense and reason become indistinguishable.

(dilute) bleach baths are a legitimate treatment for secondary bacterial infections for children with eczema. Whether there's also another scam that uses them I have no idea.
