while a single golf course exists on this earth this shit is bullshit
golf was invented in Scotland, instead of adapting the game to other locales they try to turn other places into Scotland.
and even in the correct climate the labour involved in making and maintaining a golf course is mindboggling
Also lignite mining
Ligma mining
A shower is the only touch I receive
Can’t wait to have my water usage severely rationed while pistachio companies continue to gobble up a disproportionate amount of the water supply.
Pistachios are a scapegoat for the actual consumer of the majority of agricultural water in the southwest: alfalfa for livestock feed.
Growing up my dad went through a phase of wanting me to limit showers to 7 minutes and I’m still not sure whether it was to save money or prevent jerking it.
Why not both
Now do the amount of water used to upkeep golf courses/given to animals in factory farms
given to animals in factory farms
Wow literally Animal Farm.
They have billboards like these in my city, meanwhile alfalfa farmers are literally draining aquifers and creeks dry in a dang desert

Damn, 4 minutes is how long I space out.
sorry kids im 800 years old and momma needs a shower/sauna hybrid to function as a living being. maybe pull yourself up by your bootstraps and stop using water on your golf course thats the size of the moon?
I don’t golf and don’t have a golf course.
looks like youre just gonna have to desiccate your body and sequester its carbon into the ground sweaty, industrial misuse of water is a good thing
This is why I take baths. If I’m gonna sit depressed in water for 2 hours, I’m gonna lay down and it’s gonna be quiet.
the noise of showers are also somewhat relaxing though. they need to invent noisier baths
Just splash about a bit till you get the right frequency.
If you get it just right you can create standing waves
But I’m taking a bath so there is no standing
Bath tubs are all too small for me to comfortably lay down in one :(
“Water saving baths” are all so pointless because they’re too small for me to sit in without impaling myself on a faucet, they may as well not exist but they’re becoming the norm here. The rare treat of being in a house with an actually large-sized bath is lovely.
God I need a bigger bath

Four minutes?! I’m in trouble
Four minutes does sound rough. I think I can work with 10…maybe 8 but anything less would barley feel worth it. Unless you are rationing water for environmental reasons (fair enough in that case)
A little switch on the shower head that turns the water off while you don’t directly need it can bring the total water running time way down. It keeps the temp constant so you don’t have to fiddle with the knobs every time. Lathering, conditioner leaving in time, shaving, exfoliating, teeth brushing, they don’t need water constantly running.
sorry, not gonna happen, I need my thirty minute hot showers to compensate for another eight hours of sleep in a cold and lonely bed
If you’re really concerned with water conservation, only turn the shower on when you need the water:
- Step in, turn the water on to rinse/wet your body
- Turn water off, apply shampoo
- Turn water on to rinse off shampoo
- Turn water off, apply conditioner
- Turn water on to rinse off conditioner
- You can probably wash your face without turning it off because that shit takes like a second
- Turn water off, apply soap to your body (including genitals and anus)
- Turn water on to rinse soap off
- Turn water off, exit shower
It’s not at all relaxing, but it cleans your body and minimizes water usage.
Or, we could have built homes to conserve water in the first place by using grey water multiple times before using it to flush our toilets.
I am forced to use too much water because it takes 3+ minutes for the water to heat up in my shitty apartment.
That’s called a navy shower and I absolutely do this on days I wash my hair.
Or: Don’t live in a single family home, but use efficiency from modern apt. complexes. Those can also re-use gray water to some degree and have a much higher efficiency over building lifetime and inhibitor than single homes. You also need less material.
If you’re going this far to save on water, you’ll probably be better not using conditioner at least.
I’d also normally say soaping your body is unnecessary, but with so little water it probably is needed.

Landlord took out my bath
My conditioner takes 5 minutes to sit in my hair. I’m going to take at least 10 minutes damn it.
why not 29 minutes? that too would save water, energy and time compared to a 30-minute shower. how did they land on 4? i think “19 minutes” would have looked nice too.
btw 4 minutes is totally reasonable
spoken like a he/him
How much hair do you have and what texture?
This is definitely not doable for me. I’m closer to 10 min for a normal shower, could probably do it in 6 if I tried to be speedy.
I demand 20 minute showers. There can be no compromise in this fight for dignity.
reasonable yes,
? no[cries with my long ndn hair]
