if you have a bath tub and aren't taking advantage and chilling in it, you're really missing out

im not saying replace showers with baths but ive been getting in the bath for the last few days after work and just chilling, smoking some weed and listening to podcasts or watching youtube. i wash myself as well and it feels way less rushed than when im showering. if you have a bath tub i recommend it. im in the tub as i type this

I truly wish I could but I'm too fucking tall to enjoy bathtubs
- My knees get cold poking out of the water
- Just get a cup and constantly dump water on yourself
  
  So...a shower
  
  That just makes it harder to do relaxing activities in bath

I don't shower or bathe because that's not trad and only women do that. So I do the manly retvrn thing and take a dust bath like a chinchilla.
- Actually trad Vikings managed to seduce British women away from their stinky ass nerd men with how well they were groomed and how regularly they bathed.
- I am now envisioning a Chad type, just standing there looking all grizzled and stoic when, just like a chinchilla, he just drops and rolls.

I used to take baths like every single day, sometimes twice. But over the years my landlord has replaced the old powerful water heater with a weak one that barely produces hot water, unless you run it extremely slow. They also put in the most uncomfy light on the planet, so unless I bring a ton of candles it's like trying to relax on a hospital hallway. I barely take baths nowadays because the experience is so much worse than what I used to be, but it's still nice as an occasional thing.
tl;dr: fuck landlords

Aint nonthin better than gettin high and takin a nice bath.
Also, baths are a good cure for paranoia from weed. Just a nice calming sensation to help you center

i am too large of a human for the small ass tub at my home

I've got a tub with a 14-inch soaking depth in my garage that I'm putting in next week. I can't fucking wait.

I am a hundred feet tall and there is no tub in the neighborhood to chill in

I would love to... if I weren't an ice giant

Another thing I’d recommend: take out the built-in stopper mechanism in the tub, use a drain strainer or tub shroom when showering and then use a stopper disc when taking a bath. You’ll get way fewer clogs that way.
- what if you like pulling out those 2ft hair worms?

Every Saturday morning I eat some breakfast, smoke a joint, and have a nice long bath to soak away the week's work. Really relaxing way to start the weekend.
- do you have a goto brekky? mine's an egg and cheese and hashbrowns
  
  Nothing fancy, bowl of store brand special k cereal and a cup of coffee - I find a lot of flavours and textures way too intense when I've just woken up, so don't really change it up at all.

Bought a house with a bathtub in it 4 years ago. Yet to take a bath in it.
- do it now
  
  Do it for @LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml, who hasn’t a tub because they are a renter! 😭

If I had the money I'd totally find and install a tub that can fit tall people

A shower by nightlight with some music isn't too bad either.
- yesss

oh, nice marmot
- Maaaan you beat me to it, same image popped into my head when I read this. But prior to nihilist arrival, that whole vibe is pretty appealing.

Since we're all complaining. The hot water always gets cold faster than I'd like and it's always uncomfortable being in that transitionary period cold sitting water and hot water as it's coming in. Mostly just due to bad plumbing or heat retainment or something.
Otherwise also enjoyed baths and reading there with some music.

Fuck yeah! Get some epsom salt with lavender too, and Neutrogena rainbath oil and put it in there, I feel smooth as a baby's bottom after I come out of a steamy soak with that stuff.

No, bathtubs are dysphoria machines

every tub I've ever had, including the one in my current place, has been too small for me to comfortably use. I'm simply too tall and large, there's not enough room for me. it's actually very depressing because chilling in a bath sounds awesome, and I can't do it.
- I'm short and have had the same experience
- sorry ):

I have been in one like once at a motel

I've only used a bath a few times as an adult and it was with Epsom salts to get over muscle pain and it was alright I guess. I just don't really enjoy sitting in my own soup that much otherwise ig

Maybe if mine gets resurfaced, but as of now even with the best of cleaning intentions mine looks like the surface of the moon.

I was catsitting at a friend's place recently for a couple of weeks and I only took a bath there once. I don't know if it was because it took forever to fill the tub, or it was just kind of uncomfortable (I'm not a huge guy, but it didn't feel long or wide enough to really get comfortable) but I didn't enjoy it. I've really been missing having baths and when I got in there I was like "oh, this is it? This is what I've been missing?"

Bath salts and bath oils or bath bombs comrade, changed my life

I'm too tall and too fat for my bathtub. Further, I dislike warm water and detest being still in it. Bathtubs are the bane of my existence.

This is 100% a skill issue on my part, but I was never able to relax fully in a bath just because of how quiet it is compared to a shower. I'm so used to the constant splashing of the showerhead water. Hearing nothing but my soft splashes echoing in my bathroom feels weird to me somehow, idk why.
- Yeah showers are great cos there's so much going on. You can stick your face in the stream at full power or like spin around. In a bath you're just stuck there with your thoughts worried that if you fall asleep you'll drown.

neh.. always found baths kinda gross

I would barely fit and it would be super uncomfortable

Thanks. I took a bath tonight because of this post.

Every time I go to take a bath, I get it nice and warm and bubbly and get a book/laptop and then I get in and remember within five minutes why I never take baths because I'm so uncomfortable maybe its cuz I don't have a large enough tub

Happy caik day, tovarshi
