Can't wait to have my water usage severely rationed while pistachio companies continue to gobble up a disproportionate amount of the water supply.

Uh how can I fit ten minutes of sitting on the floor and crying into a four minute shower
In Chicago landlords pay for water. I'm doing praxis by putting it on hot and mist mode and relaxing
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
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.
spoken like a he/him
I demand 20 minute showers. There can be no compromise in this fight for dignity.
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.
