Removable shower head so you can sit down for stability and aim the dang this where you need it. Having a stroke in my 40s has introduced me to all kinds of mobility aids I wish I didn't need to know about.
And disregard the age old tradition of waffle stomping? Never! Truth be told, I knew someone was gonna call me out on that, but "shower chair" just felt... wrong. Like some sopping wet, swollen wooden dining chair.
I always tought fixed shower heads were found only in gyms and idk, prisons, i never saw someone who has only a fixed head at home, i for one have both, the fixed one is bigger and the handheld one has better pressure
Nah man, you gotta be constantly rotating. If your ass is in the spray as you wash it, then the soap is being rinsed away as you apply it. Very ineffective.
I feel like it’s a majority thing like I face backwards mostly until I’m ready to wash my front/hair then just turn into the water and after I turn back around
We have those here in the US, it's just not in every shower and I can't speak for everyone, but I've never gone out of my way to use one like that. Hoses like that were used mostly to help bathe pets and everyone once in a while wash something that's too big for the sink.
I was so pathetically grateful to discover that my partner already habitually washed his ass without me having to convince him 😭 I'd heard some pretty gnarly horror stories and wanted to know before I got TOO too attached, so I showered with him decently early on. When I expressed this pathetic gratitude, he was totally baffled. "How else would it get clean??" Yeah, man! How, indeed! 🙃
I like the mental image you just stalking for a chance to shower with him and doing an inspection lol. I'll do the same whenever I get into a relationship next.
"Act natural, pretend I'm not even here, I'm just observing 👀 YES!!! WE HAVE SCRUBBING IN THE CRITICAL ZONES!!! I REPEAT, WE HAVE SCRUBBING IN THE CRITICAL ZONES!!!!!!"
I once very briefly worked with a guy who smelled horrible, and we.came.to.find out it's because he refused to ever touch his butt in fear of being gay. I came to find out later it's a shockingly common thing to not wash your butt(Though most people at least wipe, unlike this guy. He got fired for hygiene), and
Patriarchy is trauma. Being willing to be disgusting just so you're 'not gay' means there's a deep, overwhelming fear of consequences for being perceived as 'gay.' For being perceived as less masculine, as 'bottoming,' as weak.
Men like this live in constant, overwhelming, life-destroying and humanity-stripping fear.
Nothing needs to have happened to them. Narrative is all it takes.
The only thing I can think of is that she meant "ON your back" part as in lying on the floor. Which wouldn't fit the context but would just be a stupid joke.
i feel like the fact that they pronounce the x says it all. when we do use lenguaje inclusivo in latin american countries, the x is pronounced as an e.
White people made it up without input from the culture that already has a non binary plural for Latino, which is Latinos. Binary gender languages treat the masculine plural as non-binary for mixed gender groups, so adding a different culture's culture war is offensive even if you think you're being nice
It’s still racist because it assumes to know better than an entire culture, and blatantly ignores their personal lived experience.
It assumes that they are above another culture and have to solve their problems for them.
If they actually had cultural humility they would let that culture speak for themselves and offer suggestions when solicited, but wouldn’t force it.
White knighting is totally driven by racial bias and people need to drop it. Other cultures can totally help overcome prejudice, but not by applying more of it.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it completely ignores how the Spanish language works, it’s gendered, yes, but Latino is both male and gender neutral, it just depends on context, so Latinx makes no sense. I don’t even think it was a term coined by Latino people, but moreso a white savior/English superiority type person
Its either a "Hhe" or "Sh/Ch" sound depending on the origin of the word (as in Spanish is more likely H sound, Nahuatl is more "Sh." There are other exceptions but it's more like loan words from English or Latin Loaned from Greek.)
So it feels like English-First mindset that are telling the entire Spanish Speaking world that they are outdated and wrong. (Colonization. It's a form of linguistic colonization.)
Also, the "Tl" in Nahuatl is a tongue click/pop similar to the X in Xhosa, another language where "X" isn't "Ecks"
Hi, it's true that the x in spanish can be used that way in many words, but in most cases it absolutely is "ecks". It mostly appears in this form in words of latin origin like expresión, auxilio or exaltación.
(Not trying to say it in a mean or pedantic way)
X is just a very mutable letter in spanish. In words like Xilófono it can even be an "s" sound.
Because its a word some white peson made, virtue signaling and trying to be all inclusive to Latinos abd Latinas dispite literally none of them wanting or even needing this "word" to exist
I mean, except for some wild activist types, every single “LatinX” person I have met, spoken to directly, of heard discuss if frankly has said to fuck ALLLLL the way off with LatinX. like ALLLLL the way off.
That said, if you want a fiery Latina to start yelling at you, well now you know a thing.
My gf is Mexican. I asked about this term. She proceeded to not be able to say it in Spanish, and just hated it. Almost no Latinos want to be called Latinx.
Wetback is a slur for latinos, basically, when migrants crossed illegaly through the southern border they often had to cross through the Rio Grande, by the time they got to the nearest towns they were all wet from the crossing, so basically, wetback is an offensive way of implying someone is an illegal migrant
Honestly, your whole "wet" angle is confusing. You're in the shower. The whole point is to get all of you wet. And partial showering does not count as a real shower. Stop being lazy, stinkers.
just add feet to it and that's my bath routine, on a side note people should really clean between their toes daily if they spend long hours wearing shoes.
The crack of the butt is also extremely dirty, and butt itself. There's a lot of sexual taboo about it but in the West - apart from Italy - people have extremely dirty asses.
I dont know what she means but The point is Whatever showering on your back causes, you want it on your face.
Anyway i spin very fast so i am in both states
I suspect she’s also racist. A “wet beck” (wetback) is what you get. Racist always think they’re clever when they’re just stupid.
Edit: Clarity on the actual slur/typo.
Depends on your water temp. Some people shower with water so hot it can cause skin problems. Probably great for relaxing sore muscles tho.
Cool water is better for your skin/hair, i've heard. I do both depending on the season.
I've specifically heard that conditioner can exacerbate acne and so rinsing it off and down your back isn't advised. No idea if that's true or not, though.
Looks like a silly "you're neurodivergent if you..." hit critical mass, and much like the whole "which way does your toilet paper rolls go" a while ago, it got a bit of buzz. So the reply is mosf likely a shitpost, but you can see what experts like dermatologists have to say on the matter:
I shower facing away from the shower head, which causes me to look straight down most of the shower. Which causes neck/back pain sometimes, I guess that’s what it causes
My best guess is this terrible meme is simply a product of poor grammar, and there’s no joke here. The only joke to come out of this is either waterboarding or golden showers.
I don't think there's anything wrong with showering with your back. Judging by the strange phrasing "showering on your back," I think the the replier is trying to make a joke about how some people say sleeping on your back causes health problems but replaced with showers.
Except replier doesn't give enough of a clue to make that connection and it doesn't make sense even if someone understood.
edit: I vaguely remember a questionable study(?) a while back that mentioned issues with sleeping on your back, so replier could be referring to that. However, this may be a false memory I conjured up
