I... Genuinely only realizing this now (lemmy.world)

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 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.

I had the skin tone bra thing down pat, but blew my mind when I realized you can also have cute color bras that match or contrast with the outer clothes so if your strap shows it looks intentional!

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

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.

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.

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