It took me several years to realize that Canadians were from Canada. Specifically, I didn't connect the spoken words. I was fine with the written words.
I had commented in that thread on reddit. What really blew my mind was that he wasn't even the only one.
When I was 30 I learned that I had pronounced and spelled the German word "unbedingt" wrong my entire life. I thought it was "umbedigt" as in "um jeden Preis". I thought all others spelled and pronounced it wrong or spoke more elaborate than I.
My hot water tank runs out quick so if I let it warm up it'll be cold by the time I get in.
I'm down to military showers, 8 minutes (heavy scrub independent of the time)
Is 8 minutes considered a fast shower?
It can be a poverty thing too.
If you struggle to pay normal bills, letting it warm up makes the bill higher. So grow up poor, and you find out lots of habits of yours exist to save less than a dollar a day.
they actually sell these recirculating pumps to keep the hot water in the pipes
There was a post with something similar but with the water pressure being too high in the shower. Like, what? Just don't open it all the way then?!
I had a very cold shower once until I realized you had to open it all the way to get hot water (no separate hot and cold taps). What a bizarre design.
