The worst. I still recall the misery of no hot water after a weekend camping - 30 years ago. 🥶

I have heard of some benefits to cold showers! But I have heard of zero benefits that make a cold shower worth it to me!!

This is so cool - a mentor in my pre-med program (for the minute or two I was pre-med) speculated that alternating hot and cold in a single shower could prevent infection. That was 25 years ago, and her hypothesis has been confirmed!

If I do not come out like an 85-90% cooked lobster there’s a problem

You get used to it and as a friend says “its impossible to be in a bad mood after a cold shower”

There are freezing cold showers, cold showers, cool showers, tepid... You don't even have to keep the temperature low the entire time, five seconds is a good start. Baby steps.
