I was just rinsing my mouth with some mouth wash, and went to rinse it out afterwards with water, not realizing someone else had just used it, turned the hot water on, and it was scalding.

Just found it kind of ironic, which prompted me to think...

If you're hating on the single tap so much, what do your showers look like?

I can picture it now, jumping back and forth between streams, first scalding your balls, then trying to get them to pop back out.

I've only ever seen a two tap sing once. My aunt had one, but she lived in this weird log cabin with a buncha random "antique" appliances. The sink in the upstairs guest bathroom was copper, and it folded down from the wall.

Trust me, they are in Canada.  If you and nearly all your friends that you normally visit live in the suburbs that been built in 1970's or later, you aren't going to find one.  Visit some homes in the older parts of your city, you will come across one eventually.

All these arguments for the two tap system I find pretty hilarious.
It's archaic. It's inefficient. It's nowhere near as effective as a single tap.
Yeah we get it, you want warm water you fill the basin with hot and cold from each tap.

I want warm water, I turn the hot knob and cold knob to equal parts. Bam, warm water comes out of the tap, like magic.  :Awemazing:

And hey, I can fill the basin with it too if I want.. which I don't.
I want hot water... I only turn the hot knob. I want cold water, I only turn the cold knob. Best of both worlds. 

Two taps isn't confusing at all, it's just a vastly inferior form of optimal temperature water delivery.
That's why almost all new plumbing is just a single tap, because it's better and we evolve from older less efficient ways of doing things.

I've seen a sink like that before, and I live in the US. It was in a very old house.

Arguing about faucets is :facepalm: to say the least.

i have solved the riddle. it is not shrooms that make you gay. it is being english. they have 2-3 taps because they just like knobs. the more knobs they can surround themselves with the better. a british mans natural habitat is in a bukkake scene.



i would not be saying this if australia did not lose the ashes series (cricket for you non imperialists).

:ffffuuu:

I think it may be because British folks like old traditional thangs. For example an old shitty house covered in mold and whatever will cost significantly more than a newly build house. Its a socio-cultural phenomenon characteristic of Britain I spose :shrug:

I have 3 taps. One for cold water, one for hot water and one for warm water. 2 taps is an inferior system.
