first off moron (can I call you moron? great).
first off moron. those are used in kitchens and wouldn't have "stagnant" water in them because of their constant use.
second you don't know what stagnant water is. It's water that has sat out in open air with no flow and is filled with bacteria. this does not happen in pipes if water is being used anywhere in the system.

About an hour after she saw it, she texted two of her friends from her hockey team to come over and blow me with her.

Lol no you’re fucking not.
Because if you were you’d know water isn’t pumped from the ground to your faucet. It’s pumped into a holding tank which feeds your faucet, and the water from it isn’t going to be “ground temperature”.
Of all the things in the world to larp about, “having a well” is a weird choice.

Screw off, troll. As any first-year well-drilling apprentice could tell you, wells are invariably located on hills. That's why you should always have at least two stout men carry the pail of water back down, for safety. Accidents happen. A friend of mine died that way because he was in a hurry to get water and brought a frail woman with him, his sister, instead of waiting for another man (or at least an energetic youth). His skull was mortally fractured in the fall; the sister was gravely injured too. So now you know why I don't like joking about wells.

Fair enough, but there's still a significant difference between that and the water temperature in the well 100+ underground.

How's your water? We use a 40lb bag of potassium-chloride softener every month, plus a filter system for drinking/cooking water. But it's great knowing that my water is pure, natural, and free from flouride, chlorine, birth control, AIDS, and dissolved 5G particles. The only problems are chemtrail residue from the rain, and Gary's piss. Gary is our asshole neighbor who pissed on our lawn above the well at night. I set up wildlife cameras to catch him.

Well, I guess technically the basement would be considered underground, but I was referring to the pressure tank I have at my camp that is indeed buried a couple feet underground. It's because we have to drain everything down when the weather gets cold, and instead of putting the pressure tank outside or inside an unheated building, it was buried in the ground. It's very common in this area

haha NO! it does not. and even if it did the closer it gets to your house less it moves so you would have to let your water run for half an hour to get this so called not stagnant water you think you are getting.

just because water stops moving for a few hours in pipes does not mean it goes bad.

what is your argument here? are you saying that the 12" municipal water main has the same flow rate as your 1/2" service line?
does water not start stagnating as soon as it stops flowing?
i would agree that the water thats been sitting at the end of the line all night isnt dangerous but its definitely not as good as the water a few minutes down the line underground closer to refrgeration temperature and faster moving water
and wheres your cut off point? i have a city apartment thats been vacant since september

If you have a typical water heater, the tank can collect sediment, grow bacteria, or even rust over time, causing at least discoloration and an "off" taste, if not an actual health risk. For that reason, I generally cook only with cold tap water. The extra few minutes to heat the water on the stove or in an electric kettle seems worth it.

There are multiple good reasons to flush out the water till it has become much colder, meaning from a souce which was in constant movement. Living in europe (germany), we have a shitton of old building where you are always told to wait till its cold (but same is true for houses even build in the 70s), as cooper and let can react with "stagnant" water, leeching them out over night. Further, there are absolutely bacteria in every pipe, they usually aren't a problem but stuff like legionella are very common and quite dangerous if you drink water which has been sitting around all night, let alone a weekend.

Kids shitposting about how this is silly probably are either still living with their parents, americans or their former farm equipment which are simply too commoncored.

Not that guy but it's pretty fucking obvious, you put your hand in the stream and when the temperature suddenly changes that's when you know it's good to go.

I think if you need to flush your pipes in the morning for fears of stagnant water, then there's something very wrong with your pipes and it might be time to replace them.
In the houses where our clients wanted pot fillers, we often had them connected to the hot water supply, so I usually would design it into a nook with a linear drain underneath it so it could be run without filling the pot with lukewarm water.
Otherwise, they're mostly just a status symbol. A lot of the time people don't even think to use the things.

Yes it's called "the building was built before lead pipes stopped being a thing". This is understood, that is why people are doing it. If it wasn't understood, people would just drink the water that comes out right away. In fact it's so commonly accepted that testing methodology for tap water expects you are going to run the water for a few minutes before taking a sample. If you sample the water that comes right out, it's considered to be a bad sample and you have to redo the test.
