this episode was good (you should listen to it at 2.0x speed so it sounds like they’re high on cocaine and ranting like lunatics, I did it and it’s hilarious)
Cold showers to become progressively more and more resistant to colder temperatures were all the rage in Soviet Union. They were supposed to supercharge your immune system and make you all around healthier and what not. There were even popular songs about it.
What I’m saying is you people are revisionists for questioning a traditional workers’ pastime.
There’s this weird thing where we like to take random behaviours and shit on them as if it’s a PMC thing, but really we just find something about the behaviour personally icky or cringey.
Semi-related. Every morning I take a nice, hot shower. It’s the one bit of silence I get during the day. As the end of the shower gets closer, the dread of the day ahead starts to sink in. When I’m done, I’ll crank it to freezing cold and just giggle that I’m doing something so silly that I acknowledge will make me suffer. Helps me power through my shitty days just that much more.
Sorry for the novel, haha.
Admittedly I don’t listen to the pod, but cth doing a bit ragging on the “PMC” kind of sounds like the least self aware shit ever.
