So I need to know something about your shower habits

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Woah woah back up, it's not like that.

Anyway, my roommate constantly berates me for not turning the tap on until I'm in the shower, insisting that one must turn the tap on beforehand in order to ensure that the water has time to heat up. However logical this is, I can't seem to break my old habits of getting in, turning it on, then dodging the first stream of cold water.

I pose the question to Spam: does it really matter as long as you come out clean?

These are deep philosophical inquiries that demand answers, plz help.

[Cpt Toellner]

I have done both.

A shower isn't just a means to an end. It's like a temple. It's where you go to cleanse yourself and be at peace.

You must respect it, and follow the proper rituals.

One of which is to TURN ON THE WATER BEFORE GETTING IN THE SHOWER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TEMPERATURE IS RIGHT, YOU MONGREL.

But maybe the shocking cold and brief adrenaline rush is what I live for.

"Does it really matter" is a far better philosophical question. How one subjectively prioritises things as either important or not important, and what should be prioritised, are quite interesting questions.

So, should the water be turned on beforehand? Or should it not?

I like the fun recursion of you prioritizing the question of 'What should be prioritized?' over another question. Although it's probably fair to prioritize it as a starting point for then prioritizing other questions, but that only works if you prioritize prioritizing other questions in the first place.

"Does it really matter" whether you turn the water on beforehand? Depends on your perspective. In the greater scheme of the universe? No. In your own life? Somewhat. In terms of your comfort? Yes. In the specific terms of avoiding cold water in order to ensure that comfort? Quintessentially.

In other words, there's no satisfactorily objective answer to this question. My real, reflex answer? Fucking yes it matters, how dare you disrespect the holy showering ritual enshrined in collective humanity's very spirit and soul. You will never be clean after such sacrilege.

The prioritisation of prioritisation. Now that's meta as fuck.

I personally wait for the wawa to heat up, but I think your way saves wawa, so I don't know why your woomie would be getting angry, unless that woomie is Halo.

Stop taking showers with water. Be a man and use a laser to clean your body.

[The Nexerus]

Turn the water on as you get in.

[aza]

You make sure the water is hot.
You then separate the time while it's heating up with looking at yourself in the mirror like you're a fucking lunatic, shaving/plucking, and shitting.

You're actually supposed to shave during or after the shower since the hot water softens the hair and that makes it easier and gives you a smoother finish.

[Svenn]

Well I mean what about cold showers?

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Are cold showers ethical?

[Svenn]

yes.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Okay.

I have a habit of not wearing clothes in the shower. I'm a freak, you don't have to say it.
