Whenever Americans travel to Europe, they face a plethora of cultural shocks. One of the most common cultural shocks that has become a constant complaint by American tourists is the lack of drinking water in Europe. Every summer, TikTok and other social media platforms are brimming with dozens of Americans mocking the Europeans for being "dehydrated." Simultaneously, Europeans clap back at the Americans, contradicting their claims. Recently, in June, an American lifestyle influencer, Delanie Kristek (@chiknnuggiesinmytummy), shared a video about the "drinking water" issue in Europe.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
