have you considered entering after the water warms up

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 7 months ago (5 children)

how are you going to turn on the water without entering the shower cabin

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 48 points 7 months ago (1 children)

put your hand in and turn it on from the outside

Have you considered growing longer arms?

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 12 points 7 months ago

Have you considered manning up a little (in a completely gender neutral way).

Alternatively, use a shower umbrella.

Thanks im cured

How fucking massive is your shower that you can't simply reach into it and grab the handle?

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

The door is opposite to the actual unit

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

Aim the shower at the wall, turn it on, get out

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Turn it on in the sink, then it may only take like a second in the shower (if you're lucky with your plumbing layout)

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think I need a diagram of this plumbing layout

As a shameful normie whose sink is entirely separate from my shower, I'm having a hard time picturing this

If your hot water line comes from [wherever, in my case the basement] and passes by your shower before leading to a sink, it's likely that the water by your shower will also be hot once it comes out hot at the sink.

It might be! I'll try it, thanks!

With a rope.

Why would I be inside the shower before the hot water shows up

I turn on the shower at maximum hot, undress, THEN introduce cold back to a comfy temperature and step inside.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Sometimes I take my pants off before my shoes...we are not all the same

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Pro tip:

Always max hot water (or hot water only if separate) to warm up shower fastest and save water. It's a win win.

Turning it 3/4 or something to desired temperature takes longer to heat up and wastes both hot and cold water.

The photo is somewhat deceptive. It's actually angled away from vertical slightly. He's resting on the wall behind him.

I used to only have cold water up until a month ago and I'd get confused when those cold shower body builder trent went online but yeah now that i'm getting used to it i can see the difference.

Edit : To avoid confusion i used to live in a place with noderate climate and only recently moved .

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Where do you live where they just got hot water?

[–] The_Mastermind@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

In Iceland, it depends on the volcanos.

When you build toilet on the side of a cliff so that you can have privy ledges

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Why wait even? Cold water is still water.
