People used to do this during communism. You didn’t really have public swimming pools or AC so when it got hot kids would splash around and adults would soak their legs.
Now people are more aware of sanitary issues and bathing in fountains is forbidden in most places. You still see it form time to time but it’s mostly some weird people doing it.
People still do this in parts of Europe. I took a motorcycle tour in Corsica a few years back and most places had public fountains you were absolutely allowed to go in, I saw dogs in some of them too and no one around cared. I would use them to rewet my evaporation vest so I didn’t die of heatstroke.
We have a massive fountain at the Seattle Center that’s meant for play, etc., but it doesn’t have standing water. It’s decorative and shoots jets many meters into the air. Totally get the concept… but she’s doing it at night and in the nude.
I also get it’s Jucika is just silly, but sometimes I like my comics to make at least a LITTLE sense.
Yes, the splashi fountains are popular now and are build for this purpose. Normal fountains are not but I guess it was a common thing when Jucika was drawn. I mean, it probably looked to people like someone refreshing themselves on a hot night, not covering themselves in dirty water.
