It should just be common knowledge at this point that you shouldn't drink or really use the tap water in any country that doesn't speak English by default and even then you should still be cautious.

How dare they make fun of mother Russia over bad hotels. We have cameras in tarp ceiling to make sure everyone is taken care of. We must let people know that our secret tarp pyooper cameras know the true Sochi experience.

this entire thing is just going to add to their already massive inferiority complex

D&D communists are probably gloating over this 'failure of free market capitalism'. And unlike Indians, Russians are white so they aren't getting any help from SJWs either.

one could argue they were surprisingly good at communism since it took seventy years for it to collapse, which will probably remain the all-time world record for a communist regime

Half serious chat, Americans are fat and get no fiber in their diet. If I were to rate the smelliest, grossest shits worldwide America would probably be #1 due to all the meat, beer, and lack of vegetables we chomp on. And that's why we built the infrastructure to maintain our massive logs. Even tracing the history of the toilet all the way back to the Romans you'll find sit down toilets and massive chamber pots you could fit a baby into. As a result, Americans have forgotten how to squat properly which is a skill unique to the rest of the world except us.

you know most developed countries have actual toilets right

One technique a pack uses involves deploying its smaller, cuter members, having realized that these dogs have more success begging food from people.[3] Another technique some dogs have for getting food is to sneak up behind a person who is holding some. The dog will then bark, which sometimes startles the human enough to drop it. The dogs have learned to cross the street with pedestrians and have been observed obeying traffic lights.[2] Since dogs have dichromatic vision, researchers theorize that the dogs recognize other cues, such as the shapes or positions of the changing signals. The dogs have become adept at intuiting the psychology of individual humans in order to determine which techniques will work best on whom. Dogs who locate themselves in high traffic areas realize that in such places they often won't need to make any effort to procure food, as pedestrians will simply toss it as they pass by.

holy poo poo, it's evolution at work. they are breeding a race of super-intelligent dogs that can play elaborate mindgames with humans.
