This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude, jesus christ. The Cleveland Clinic is a real, nonprofit medical institution. A professional writer consulted a (named, he's right there) medical doctor for this. There's compelling enough evidence elsewhere to support what this article is saying. Linked is a 2025 PLoS One systematic review and meta-analysis for cold-water immersion (CWI), including cold showers; more research is needed, but the authors at least make a conclusion in favor of CWIs, which says a lot for this type of paper.
Can you please get off your Dunning–Kruger high horse for five seconds and stop contributing to the science denialism that's unraveling society? I take scalding hot showers; not everything has to be an attack you have to defend against.
Also:
Motherfucker, the section header after the introductory paragraph literally reads: "Why cold showers are good for you". Was your problem that they missed the exclamation point or something?
i'm more familiar with the cleveland clinic than you are. this is literally a bullshit article.
Jesus shit you are worked up about this. Like, I have got to take some time and email these doctors and ask them why they wasted their lives creeping on people watching them shower. Why they are so perverted. They could have stayed home playing video games and the world would be exactly the same
Good for you. It's hard to tell how much I need to explain to establish a baseline understanding when you act like such an insufferable, provably wrong dipshit.
They need to insufferable, it's the only thing they've got going for them. Without that they're just a regular garden variety dipshit.
excuse me i'm only 80% garden variety dipshit. the other part fell off
Okay I'm sorry for making fun of your stupid peer review failing shower research and your graduating bottom of your class and your inability to write a good article and your fucking up at your trade pretty much constantly because of graduating at the bottom of your class, you know like all family medicine doctors.
I think you both need to cool it a bit
i tried taking a cold shower but i just couldn't the health benefits
I'm can't the either
Was wasn't the either I
i'm sorry, did YOU write the bullshit article? it's so stupid.
