Ok, somebody's gotta say it and it's gonna be me:

Yo dawg, we put a shower in your shower so you can shower while you shower.

How'd you solve the last 25%?

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 16 points 10 months ago

Recursion.

I uh... might have forgotten the terminal condition, so feel free to report me for violating Rule 2 of this community - breaking the law! (of good sense):-P

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 11 points 10 months ago

If you have finitely many problems, after purchasing finitely many copies, there should only be one problem left. If this problem isn't solved with another copy, you're out of luck and have to come up with the solution yourself.

If you have infinitely many problems then you shouldn't complain, for you'll solve infinitely many problems per copy.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

You missed an opportunity to phrase that as how you may have 99 problems, but the last one is still there :-).

Template for future use: [insert popular phrase] (best if improperly applied, claiming it is for "ironic" purposes), then [follow up with cat picture].

You missed the part where you zone out and replay arguments you had years ago. But this time you're smarter and always win

[-] Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I don't always win, but I learn from the mistakes. Like watching football play footage lol

[-] aard@kyu.de 29 points 10 months ago

Make sure you use a long extension cord to a fuse without RCD for the hair dryer, though - otherwise the constant resetting of the breaker will eat up all your time savings.

[-] Vrtrx@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Which psychopath brushes their teeth first and then eats breakfast like he's in some kind of stupid movie

[-] tweeks@feddit.nl 9 points 10 months ago

Well, I have been doing this for a couple of years now. I brush my teeth before eating in the morning because apparently that's better for your teeth, otherwise you might damage enamel. Or you wait for at least 30-60 minutes, but nobody's got time for that. Just rinsing with water after eating is fine.

Truth is I usually don't eat breakfast, so I don't have to think about it. But when I do, it's this order for me now.

I don't see how brushing your teeth in the shower saves time. Unless your brushing while you shampoo or something, you're just making your shower longer, which wastes more water.

[-] sizzling@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I brush my teeth after applying the conditioner in my hair. Being done brushing signifies it is time to rinse out the conditioner

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I just put my conditioner in before I wash the rest of my body, then I rinse everything off at once.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I stand there enjoying the hot water and zoning out letting my mind wander. May as well do something useful while I’m just standing there anyway.

[-] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Exactly. Plus I rather stand under the hot water instead of standing in the bathroom which is not as warm, in the cold weather.

[-] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It's a habit I picked up in basic training. We had 50 girls to 12 shower heads, and we really didn't get much time for all of us to shower at all in the first couple weeks (the time constraint was relaxed after a bit though)

The tooth brushing deal though I think was because our TI would find the tiniest speck of water in the sinks after lights out and absolutely lose his shit. So we only used the sinks to wash our hands, so we didn't accidentally leave toothpaste in the bowl of the sink and miss it while cleaning up for the evening.

Either way, it's just a habit that's stuck with me through the years.

[-] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

The water takes like a minute to heat up here, so I start brushing my teeth while it's heating up and I finish in the shower

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I finish in the shower.

is there a /c/nocontext ?

Lil flippy knob at the top of the shower head to pause the water is a great water saver. You only really need the water running for like 20% of your time in the shower. I love brushing my teeth in the shower, you can get toothpaste everywhere and then just rinse it off without making a huge mess at the sink, way easier to rinse your mouth with water angled down from above than from a sink below.

[-] fristislurper@feddit.nl 16 points 10 months ago

I get cold just thinking about this. Turning off the shower is my least favourite part of showering. Why repeat the experience several times in one session?

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

ya like what psychopath turns the water off mid shower

brushing your teeth in the shower

I tried this. Turns out that sonicare toothbrushes are only water resistant and will fail eventually when used in the shower every day. 0/10 Don't recommend.

Otherwise, if you spend a lot of time daydreaming in the shower to begin with, this can save a few minutes.

Going through the car wash with the windows down is really the best way to hit these all at once.

[-] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 6 points 10 months ago

You should also wash the laptop while checking emails (with Windows down)

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

How else do you clean a laptop of its viruses?

Wasn't this a Seinfeld bit with Kramer?

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Whole episode around it, yes

[-] mdd@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Yes. Kramer even put a garage disposal in his shower.

I do all my own electrical work in the shower.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised some tech company hasn't put waterproof touchscreen devices in their employee locker room showers so that their employees can reply to email in there.

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised they didn't add them to the toilet stalls either

Should I check my emails while I'm taking a shower in the shower?

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

No, there is a limit to multi tasking

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

If there's no limit to monitors, there's no limit to multitasking. And there's no limit to monitors.

Now if only someone would develop the waterproof monitor...

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Seriously though, brushing my teeth in the shower is the best way to get me to do it.

Water conservation while in the shower.

[-] Scribbd@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

And now that you are showering while you are showering, you should brush your teeth while you are showering while you are showering.

[-] bajabound@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

The phrase 'waffle stomp' was coined for a reason.
