I’m constantly amazed at the variety of possible human sensory differences.

My problem is not spending the whole day in the shower.

The white noise aspect of the shower is amazing. Have you ever turned off the lights and just stood under the water in the dark? It's pretty great, in my opinion.

Then you turn the lights back on and the water is thicker and red.

But on the bright side: not pregnant! 🎉

It's a trap, you'll be there till the water runs cold, which may be a really long time

You say that like I'm not already planning on being in their until the water runs cold.

[–] jesterkun@midwest.social 6 points 10 months ago

On demand water heaters solve that problem. Damn I want one.

Instant hot water heater.... I would stand in the shower till the heat death of the universe

If I ever spend all the hot water in my apartment complex then I've definitely been in the shower for too long

I'll be fine. I have a waterproof phone and waterproof earbuds.
