Spent 11 days defending a viral take that cold showers boost focus, then my gym in Fort Wayne put a thermometer in the shower | Bad Takes Autopsy - Vivisector
Man, I feel this in my soul. I did the same thing last winter, argued with like six guys at work about how cold water cranks up your focus, and then our gym installed those little temp gauges right in the shower stalls. Turns out I'd been "braving" water that was sitting at like 68 degrees the whole time, which is basically bath water. The gauge humbled me fast, and I had to go back and eat my words with everyone. My advice is to grab a cheap waterproof thermometer and check it yourself before you post anything online, because a real cold shower should be under 60 and trust me, you'll know the second it's actually cold. Nobody wants to win an argument and then find out the shower was lying to them the whole time.
