    Now add in a plot for time it takes to convince yourself to take a shower.

      Most programs won’t render slices thin enough for the “Shower” portion of that…

    I think your skin technically is expanding

        It probably is something you can feel if your skin is dry and/or cold. It does stretch and become more pliable when warm and wet.

      Two words: underfloor heating.

      When walking around barefoot, warm tiles are so much nicer than cold ones.

        Poor person’s solution is living in a place with plastic flooring.

    Love to see i’m not the only one who puts visual emphasis on the word “warm”, just to encapculate the feeling 😁

    Is this an autism thing? I thought everyone did it?

      Maybe. I think everyone shares some traits, but the hypersensitivity to physical sensations and dislike of transitions probably makes us do it more often than others.

    I shower with cold water. Refreshing and ready to go in like five minutes.

    Used to shower pretty hot around two years ago but now I actually prefer cold, even in winter.

    I have very good skin so neither affected it negatively, but I think cold is better as it feels like the skin can retain its moisture better when using cold water.

      I used to shower cold. I mainly do luke warm and then finish off cold.

      Showering in the gyms messed me up because they only have one temperature and it’s really hot so it messed up my gauge. I think cooler water is better in general too, not sure about the moisture stuff itself but I found myself itching less in winter after doing so. I also used to be afraid of stepping out of the shower because of the cold and it feels just fine now.

      I want to like hot showers, but it dries out my skin so badly, and it makes me feel like a pierogi that’s been left out too long; without any butter or sour cream

    Take a real shower.

      The pie chart doesn’t indicate the total length of the shower, so it is feasible (and in fact the reality) that the little slice where I’m actually cleaning contains a real shower.

        That would mean approximately 25 minutes of showering and 2,375 minutes of warmth.
