life hacks

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%?
Thank you for your service. I wasn't going to leave that un-posted, believe!

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

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

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.

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

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.
- It doesn't say that, at least in the way I interpret the text. It says you should wait to brush your teeth after a given time after eating
If I ain't brushing them in the morning I am not gonna brush them later. I am too lazy for that.
- You can still brush them in the morning. Just after you've eaten breakfast
clearly it's the same kind of psychopath who would also wash his car and check his email and use a hair dryer in the shower

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.

I brush my teeth after applying the conditioner in my hair. Being done brushing signifies it is time to rinse out the conditioner
- I just put my conditioner in before I wash the rest of my body, then I rinse everything off at once.
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.
- Exactly. Plus I rather stand under the hot water instead of standing in the bathroom which is not as warm, in the cold weather.
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.
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
- I finish in the shower.
  is there a /c/nocontext ?
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.
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.
- 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?
in other words; you can save water by doing less. nice life hack too

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

You should also wash the laptop while checking emails (with Windows down)
- How else do you clean a laptop of its viruses?

Make toast

Wasn't this a Seinfeld bit with Kramer?

Whole episode around it, yes
Yes. Kramer even put a garage disposal in his shower.
- Made a salad and stuff, served it to a table of people and mentioned that he made it while showering.

- I came to post this one too, one of the best episodes

I do all my own electrical work in the shower.

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.

I'm surprised they didn't add them to the toilet stalls either
- "all cameras must be uncovered during zoom meetings"

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

No, there is a limit to multi tasking
- 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...
