A practical thing that I've had, for years and years, and of which I know literally zero other people who have such thing, is a water cooler.

Yes, in my house, in the kitchen. Like in an office. A big 5 gallon bottle of purified water sitting on a little refrigerated tap. It's literally always good. I want a small glass? No problem, pure water nice and cold. Fill up a bottle to go? Also no problem.

I get it, tap water doesn't always taste great. Also not a problem! I have a couple of giant 5 gallon plastic bottles, which I occasionally take to the local Glacier/Primo machine at the gas station (!) and fill for literally a couple of dollars. It tastes delicious.

After moving across the country, we bought a new water cooler that has a button that automatically dispenses fresh water into a dog bowl next to the cooler. Like, how great is that? My dog can drink water as nice as I'm drinking.

It's like, people don't even want to put in the minimum effort to drink water, which can easily be delicious with a Brita or a cooler or whatever. It's the foundation of life. Come on, people.
