I only learned one minute ago that instead of a single adjustable tap like the entire rest of the world,  the sinks in Britain just have a separate “hot” tap and separate “cold” tap. What the fuck is that shit. How do you people get lukewarm water out?? You just have to wait until the sink itself fills with both extremes???

yer all sayin America has these two and I’ve never seen one in three decades of living from one coast to the other, my mind is blown

OKAY IT SEEMS SOME PEOPLE DIDN’T REALIZE WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT BECAUSE THE PHOTO ISN’T CLEAR ENOUGH

There are two different faucets on that sink. Two spouts. One only has a “hot” knob and one only has a “cold” knob. Two streams of water come out of this type of sink and neither can come out lukewarm. Here’s another photo of one:

They apparently do make it difficult enough that you can buy adapters for them and some people just make their own:

There are also lots of British people complaining about them in memes:

So I was right that these things are a shitty pain in the ass, I dunno if they’re really at their most common in Britain but I know I have seen 10,000 sinks in America and every single one just had the single stream.
