For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?

I can understand the shower one, but who tf is insane enough to not use oven mitts or a rag? I'd imagine you'd take a moment to think about the possible solutions before doing something that painful

when I was little I would wait for the water to warm up, then pull the thing to turn on the shower head. But there's like 2 seconds of freezing water in the tube to the shower head so I would have to really quickly pull it, run back to the edge of the shower, and block it with the shower curtain. It had a 50% chance of failure and I did it for years

I learnt that there’s a bit of cold water when switching to the shower head the hard way.

Pointed it at my wife and swapped it and she screamed. Whoops lol.

Also before someone asks, they were just roommates

I lived the same "realization moment" last year talking to a friend.

I was saying that I need to go home to wash my white undershirts as I only got blacks left (small t-shirt to wear under a shirt and not freeze to death during winter).

He asked me why so I have several colors of undershirts.

Well, black and grey for black or dark colored shirts, white for white or clear colored shirts otherwise you’ll see it behind the fabric, duuuh, are you dumb?

The answer:

Or you can wear white ones under dark shirts as well and it won’t be visible…

🤔🤔🤔😧 FFS dude, why did I never thought of that?

I wish the same were true for bras. Women's shirts are often much thinner than men's, so a white bra might show through a dark shirt. It took me until this year to figure out that in order to make your bras less visible under light or white shirts, you should use a skin-tone bra instead of a white bra. Blew my mind when I figured that one out.

You can sometimes see the white collar part, unless that's just it being weird how it sits on me.

I didn’t learn until my 40s that if you exhale gently while getting water on your face, none of it goes in your nose.

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think I learnt this when I was taught swimming as a child. You always slowly exhale or at least keep the air in your nose slightly under pressure while you're underwater, so the water doesn't get in.

Blowing bubbles is always the first thing I taught kids when they were learning to swim.

No one mentioned (probably an assumed thing) to turn the water on full hot to let it warm up, then move it to the preferred mix position. Doesn't waste the cold water which will stay more or less the same temp, it's only flushing out the cold in the hot water line. And because you have it fully on hot, it takes less time.

Or get a tankless water heater to get it almost right away. I've seen debates on which is a better choice when factoring everything in, and I think it's a close tie with no clear winner, each having their caveats.

The water in the pipes is still cold. Tankless heaters are endless, not instant. You still have to wait until the cold water is pushed out of the pipes, same as with a tank. Tankless heaters are still installed in the same central location as a tank and the hot water has to come from that point.

So he's about to have shower sex and he is capable of thinking about anything else?

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

why would they have shower sex, when they could have sex then shower

[–] Ethalis@jlai.lu 16 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Yeah, shower sex might be one of the most overrated things I know. It always feels like a good idea at first and then you quickly realize that the logistics of it are hell

Yeah. Took me like 16, 17 years to realise I could put a bit of TP down first to stop the splash making such noise and firing back at my asshole.

I am still baffled by how many people suffer from Poseidon's Kiss on a regular basis. Like I've had it happen once or twice ever, and I'm not a spring chicken.

Similar dumbassery: Taking a shit and seating there for 20 minutes inhaling feces stench when I could do a flush as soon first turds come out and stay on the toilet until I can't feel my legs without a farty atmosphere in the bathroom.

[–] Heliumfart@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Although, if you're a ball haver, this is a great way to get poo water splash on your balls...
