Hot showers, warm showers, or cold showers.
Explain your reasoning

>> No.3094093

hot showers

because that is what my parents raised me to believe

>> No.3094092

Warm or hot because it feels good and cleans better, especially in conjunction with soap.

>> No.3094094

Hot. Because fuck you.

>> No.3094097

Warm always warm. I shower in the mornings right after getting out of bed. I love being all cosy warm in the duvet and wish to continue that feeling.

water is the only thing holding the human race back. This primitive resource is spelling disaster for our kind. How about finding a way to sterilize ourselves?

>> No.3094127

Cold water (or even room temperature water; remember your body is about 37*C/98*F) is a real shock to your skin. The temperature differential and the physical contact sets off a bunch of sensory neurons, telling you brain that something just happened. Your instinct is then to wake up and see what's going on, in case something bad is happening.

I sometimes dip my wrists and dab my neck with cold water for this same reason, especially before tests.

>> No.3094133

Warm at first, then cold at the end to wake me up in the morning.

I started having cold showers last year... there was no hot water in the house for a while and I needed a shower so was forced to learn to cope.
It took a while but once I got used to it I LOVED it, all my showers were cold and I was feeling great.
Then I was in on holiday and the shower in the hotel was really powerful and there was loads of hot water, and I was randy as fuck and wanted to have a good fap.
so I said hey I'll take a nice hot shower.
and after that I went back to hot showers. now I can't do cold again.
I should lean to do it again. It really helped shock me half way out of my general depression shit.

tl;dr? leanrned to love cold showers last year, then switched back to hot, now can't do cold again.

we've found evidence of water once existing abundantly on mars. The water there now is not capable of sustaining life. While we may not be forced to eradicate it entirely, we need to consume it in moderation. But you can't tell me life wouldn't be better without our burning need for water

I wash myself with the hottest I can get it so that it's not too hot to handle (probably about a 7/10 on a scale from as cold as it gets to as hot as it gets), because it lathers up well. But after I've scrubbed myself, I turn it to as cold as I can handle to rinse myself off, since the conditioner and soap come off easier. Last thing I want is to have any excess conditioner in my hair, because it causes dandruff.

It's basically the same way I wash my dishes.

>> No.3094275

I have a ritual called ‘terminator’. I crouch in the shower in the “naked terminator” pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

I have to say... there are some benefits to the cold shower... the shock to the system really wakes you up.
I'm sure it helped me snap out of rut last year.

You see this name that I have. It's for people like you on /sci/. Yes you, people who don't fucking pay attention in their math and sciences classes in hs/college. The fact that someone given the benefits that you have had over your life, not to mention being at the current epoch of human evolution, knowledge and understanding, would squander that and then proceed to make up widely absurd psuedo-science bullshit makes me sick to my fucking stomach.

I mean honestly do you even realize how fucking dumb you sound right now to anyone who bothered to pay attention is a biology course? I guess not otherwise you would shut your cunt for two seconds and think.

It's seriously people like you that make me think that there really is no fucking hope for this world. If this is supposed to be the smart board of a collection of about 12 million people then we have a fucking long way to go. Do everyone a favor and get off /sci/ and open a book or Wikipedia or something. Go jerk off in /b/ if you want to, just quit dragging the collective IQ of everyone else around you down.

And then they want to hate on Biology for being "impure" or "easy." This is one of the many reasons I rarely visit /sci/ on more than a daily basis, and even more rarely read into a single topic or post anything. Seriously, fuck you people.

I hooked up a computer to my shower and let it gather data about how I adjusted the temperature and pressure throughout a "shower session" at various times of the day and in different room temperatures, then I let it analyze that for a while and now I don't even have to touch the damn thing. I push on, leave it for a second for the water to get to the right temperature and then I just jump in, and it's always just right.

Not really, but that would be pretty sweet eh?
