A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This isn’t a shower thought. It’s a bath thought.

I shower in the bathtub.

I used to bathe in the shower.

My parents were concerned about water usage and so banned baths. I, a stubborn teenager, just started using the dangling shower head instead of the bath tap to fill the tub. Presumably they knew, but they never called me on it.

I just think bathing is a waste of time. I just want want to clean myself quickly and get out, I have better things to do.

Bathing as a teenager, I wasn't overly concerned about cleanliness or speed. I was more worried about hot water and laying down for a bit longer in the morning.

Now, as an adult, I haven't had a bath in several years. I've thought about it; standing, for me, is hard because I'm obese and have an old ankle injury that was repaired incorrectly. However, ultimately, I always end up going for the shower - because, as you said, it's more efficient - then trembling on the bed for ten minutes until my ankle recovers.

I agree, though. For effectiveness, go for a shower. For luxury, a bath might be appropriate.

I think I would like a bathroom that is also a keep. Think of the privacy!
