Sometimes Reddit is outright amazing. There's this subreddit r/whatisthisthing where users post some unknown piece of stuff and ask the other Redditors to help them identify what it is...

This thread is just on another level! reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/c

Also scary to realize that cat water fountains aren't always safe for cats. :/ If you have one, make sure that there're no parts that can get loose!

@trinsec Wait, there are cat water fountains? Capitalism sure produces the most questionable stuff.

@stardust Drinking fountains. For some cats it helps to have moving water, as cats in general are very difficult drinkers.

Not exactly sure what capitalism has to do with this.

@stardust There are some other benefits too. Moving water, stays fresh, the pump has a filter below. So all you need to do is add some water over time, and have to wash/rinse less often because it won't get stale as quick. Could argue that this saves on water I suppose.

Well, for me it was still too much hassle as my cat prefers to drink from dirty puddles outdoors still anyway. ;)
