The white noise aspect of the shower is amazing. Have you ever turned off the lights and just stood under the water in the dark? It's pretty great, in my opinion.

Then you turn the lights back on and the water is thicker and red.

It's a trap, you'll be there till the water runs cold, which may be a really long time

You say that like I'm not already planning on being in their until the water runs cold.

On demand water heaters solve that problem. Damn I want one.

Instant hot water heater.... I would stand in the shower till the heat death of the universe

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

If I ever spend all the hot water in my apartment complex then I've definitely been in the shower for too long

I'll be fine. I have a waterproof phone and waterproof earbuds.
