Taking showers everyday is very American and unnecessary


 
I was reading articles about this, and it is even bad for your skin to take daily showers. Lots of Europeans apparently take a shower twice or even once a week. The rest of the time they do sponge baths. I do this as well. It is quick and easy. And I am a clean person, I don't smell. Some guys or people seem to have strong b.o., or they don't wear deodorant. I'm not one of them. Daily showers also waste huge amounts of water.

Europeans.......

I don't smell.

Heh......

....sure you don't.

It takes very little water to shower effectively.  

Correct.  We took "Navy" showers in Honduras.  I doubt the average shower used more than 4 gallons.  You get used to it very quickly.

Anyone who has ever been to Disney World in the summer months, and has been corralled into those 45-minute-long cattle pen lines, can attest to the "once or twice a week" bathing of many of the Euroweenies. After a while you can start playing "Guess The Country" with those in your party to pass the time.

No doubt....

If I don't have to wash my hair I can take a shower in 2-3 minutes, hardly a huge waste of water.  I think it would probably take me longer to do a really thorough sink bath than to take a quick shower.

Daily showers also waste huge amounts of water.

What do you idiot DUmmies define as waste. Look, even if some evil rethuglican was able to force you to step into a stream of water and your funk was washed of your malignant hide and got into the water system, believe it or not, the water is not ruined forever.

So do us all a favor ok, you stink, you might not be able to smell it. I'm sure UGP can't smell her stanky ass either but we do.

Let the water treatment facility do its job, it will remove your funk and return the water to the system.

In other words, wash you ass.

When I was in the South Pacific, also shipboard while in the Navy, and I'm sure Sparky and CG can verify this. While shipboard sometimes you have to take a shower out of a bucket of water that's 3 to 4 gallons. Wet, soap and rinse. If you run out of water before you rinse, tough. You might get another chance to tomorrow during water hours.

Water can be changed to carbonic acid which almost destroys.  You can also use electrolysis to separate the H2 from the O which effectively destroys it.

No, you are changing it.  The components still exist.  No matter is destroyed.  :-)

I think that the closest that you got is electrolysis, yes it removes the 2 hydrogen atoms from the one oxygen atom but the atoms still exist and can recombine.

Notice I didn't say "be recombined" I said they 'can recombine'. I suppose you can then take the hydrogen and oxygen atoms and break them down further in a particle collider but the elements are still there. It would not take human intervention to take those elements and make water out of them.

As long as you have atoms of hydrogen and atoms of oxygen you will have water.

Hell you can't even squirt water into a star and destroy it. Upon the supernova it is returned.

I agree...I think there are some women who join for the wrong reasons, then whine, when accommodations are not made for them.

Used to take a shower as I started my day every day. Then I got married, and She who MUST be Obeyed made it known that she was not crawling between the sheets with me AND my day's worth of funk, and so now, the shower is the last thing I do before I call it a night.

You're a good man.


Heck, even in cowcamp, where we had to pack our water in, the kids and I showered/bathed daily.  If the sun was out, I hung solar showers.  2 gallons each.  If it was cold and overcast, we heated the water.  Just above room temp, but adequate to clean up with.   If it was blazing hot, I filled a tank that I kept for bathes near the windmill and we soaked as long as we had time for.

They have no pride or consideration.

I've never understood showering before going to work, especially anything that involves manual labor in non-air conditioned places or work that involves getting dirty.
