    I had a dream last night where I made a post here about how showers were authoritarian without elaborating any further and it got so unpopular that it had 120+ dislikes and I almost got banned.

        and if you live with conditions where you can only have enough to drink any drop of water after that will be split on cleaning yourself and your clothes and you can’t do only of those or you’ll still smell bad anyway.

        Shower with your clothes on. Bonus points if you piss in the shower too. It saves water! #SaveTheTurtles #Kony2012

            Isn’t this pretty common? When traveling, backpacking, homeless, or without general access to a washing machine; isn’t it fairly common for people to dump their clothes in a bathtub with some detergent and then scrub and mix them around?

            That’s what I always did at least. Does the same thing as a machine just a lot more tiring.

            Good to hear you’re no longer in that situation though.

          LMAO this reminded me of one episode of that tv show about extremely cheap people, dude showered with clothes on so they get clean and only flushed his toilet once a week.

            Guess they were trying to save money.

            You know, cost-of-living crisis and everything…

      Household bathrooms are bourgeois and cause alienation. Under communism, we shall all visit the communal baths to build solidarity.

        Reminds me of a line in a Soviet comedy (Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath), where the main character, a kind of goofy middle-aged dude who’s somehow made it through medical school, goes with his friends to a sauna on New Year’s Eve. One of them gets drunk on vodka he’s smuggled in and starts pontificating about how private bathrooms are destroying civilization. “At home, this beautiful ritual becomes – a mere washing off of dirt.”

          I wonder how much of that is satire and how much is honesty because I remember reading somewhere about how a lot of people resented the shift away from social bathing.

            I wouldn’t want to do it – not really a thing in American culture – but I can see the appeal. Sitting and talking with your friends, maybe having a beer, feeling cleansed in body and spirit.

              Funny enough, nude swimming used to be a thing in America which is low-key the same thing. It was something boys had to do for school and would also do in rivers and stuff. Girls had to wear swimsuits though

          Everyone will have to pass around one of those little rubber dog toothbrushes. Failure to maintain dental hygiene will result in a ban on socialist fraternal kisses
