As someone whose hot water has been out for about a week, I am here to tell you that a hot shower is so important. If you're having a bad day, it can be the thing that resets you and gives you a new lease on life. A cold shower does the opposite. It might give you the pleasant sensation of being clean, but it does not take away any amount of stress from your body. It adds to it.
I know some freaks claim that everyone should be taking cold showers and cold plunges and whatever, and maybe they're right. But when you're used to hot, a cold shower can make you feel like sad Charlie Brown. Hot showers give you time to luxuriate, ruminate, and come up with fresh ideas that you want to share with strangers on Reddit. I would bet that these shower thoughts came from steamy showers, not icy ones.
