Alternatively: Lonely people get to take longer hotter showers because there's more hot water because it isn't consume by a bunch of other people in the house leaving you with only a 2 minutes of luke warm water before you get nothing but cold water left.

More surface area to clean, takes longer

No lonely with roommates is a vibe they're never happy

Jokes on you, I take long hot showers because it's the only quiet time I get in my damn house.

I'm not unconvinced of this.

I'm a loner but not lonely and I take super fast showers with the water off during soap and shampoo scrub.

My former roommate at a previous living space who was a super invasive extrovert practically lived in the shower during lockdown.

Hmm. I think duration is more indicative, than temperature. I take long hot showers in the winter, and long cold showers in the summer.

This could be partially true, lonelier people do run colder and seek out warmth more then socially included people

Not complete bullshit, lonelier people are physically colder and do seek out warmth

She'd probably be less lonely if she didn't make that stupid duck face.

Anecdote: I'm someone who almost always has been a quick showerer. Then I had some stuff happen that made me feel lonelier than I'd been in years. When taking an average shower (see: no forced deadline to make a bus/work on time/etc.), I did notice I was in there for much longer than previously (<10 min to 20-30 minutes).

Ain't data but it was a pretty striking difference to observe.

Gas heated warm water for the win! It's quirky but this is its super power, endless showers possible!
