How is this different from swimming?

>>36134710
Most robots don't swim every day nor do they shower every day but still

also swimming forces you to go outside around normies.

>>36134694
I do. Does nothing you just said.

Because I don't want to be inconvenienced when I'm taking a shower. It's literally the one time I can be at peace and not worry about the fact that I'm miserable, jobless, lack any sort of motivation, etc

Fuck your pseudo science bullshit and just let me be happy for 5 minutes a day

>normies
If it was only that.
Would love to go swimming, especially today. But those places are chokefull of tyrons and chads packs eying painted whores suntanning in my area. No way to not run into trouble and violence without friends at your back, and being a robot just how many can you call upon?

>>>Helps treat depression and improves mood
The depression bit is potentially true, not definite like I implied but based on a statistically insignificant group of people it did effectively reduce their depression symptoms and there's processes in the body that could explain this that are listed in this source: This is mostly a hypothesis however.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17993252

but that's just depression. It's scientifically proven that swimming in the cold improves mood, memory, fatigue problems, tension and pain:

>>Helps cure acne and other skin problems such as itchiness
Anecdotal, my acne is going down since I've taken cold showers and all of my itchiness that came from taking hot showers then going outside was relieved. Article about this, take it with a grain of salt I guess:

That's you drying the fuck out of your skin by washing off its natural oils with hot water. It's not that cold water is good, it's that hot water is bad.

I've heard that cold water tightens your pores while hot water swells it along with doing what your said. I could find people saying this but none were peer-reviewed scientific ones which is what I was looking for.

I think in that case cold water is possibly mildly beneficial and hot water is highly detrimental. Cold water in general is amazing and the bathing liquid of choice for real robots.
