My shower has one knob that you can only turn.

It goes from cold to hot 1/6th of a turn, and I honestly haven't checked to see if it kept getting hotter.

Depends on what you mean. If I want to actually get clean, then warm/hot. If I want to relax, ice cold TO THE MAX (or rather, minimum). I picked near ice-cold though, because if I could get clean enough, I would take cold showers. Cold water just doesn't really clean soap/shampoo off well enough.

It's lonely on my side of the graph.

They shower in the rain.

That is still a shower. That's cheating.

I voted no shower. Real men don't shower, they instead cultivate a tumescent musk.

I put it on hot most of the time, but during particularly hot days around summer time, I like to put it on lukewarm or even cold.

I crank it to the hottest and then slowly take it down until it's just bearable.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I have to admit, everything is very snuggly warm when you taken a REALLY cold shower.

Though if the shower is too cold you get an uncomfortable burning sensation and possibly hypothermia.

I had no idea so many people have those one-knob showers.  I've never seen another one though, or anybody I know.  Huh.  Do all you guys have one where it bends up and down like a lever for the pressure?  But to explain, it resets the temperature every time because the knob is loose, so pulling it up always twists it too.

Anyway, this sure is a lot of discussion of showers.  No mention of baths.

Scalding hot water. Particularily when I'm doing the terminator. (It's a ritual I have. It helps me get through the day.  I crouch in the shower in the “naked terminator” pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes.)

Yeah, up and down for pressure.  I have no idea if it resets or not because 4 people use the shower in my house.

Everyone has seen that before. Stop pasting it everywhere. Its humour font has long-since run dry and wasn't positively reflecting on anyone's impression of you anyhow
