    I bet we can brainstorm some bullshit health benefits.

    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:

    That article doesn’t say “cold showers are good for you!”

    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
