I was about 25 years old before I realized I could use warm water to wash my hands in the winter. I’m usually considered a very intelligent individual, but for some reason this never occurred to me. Maybe it’s because I grew up poor and we tried to use as little hot water as possible, or maybe I’m just not as smart as people think I am.
The tree of knowledge is enormous. We’re all bound to miss a thing or two. Most people might not ever come across a situation where they are missing that knowledge or they live their whole lives not realizing. Fuck I wonder how many things I haven’t realized yet?

Just asking that puts you miles ahead of most people in this thread.
Almost everything I do I try to think of a better way of doing it. All of these things people are saying just seem so thoughtless to me, because … well, they are thoughtless.
If people would think about what they’re doing they’d come to these realizations much, much sooner.
That’s what soap is for. And for a quick 10-20s hand wash, I doubt the temperature matters much. If I was about to do surgery or something, I’d use as hot of water I could tolerate, but if I’m just washing after taking a piss, yeah, not a big deal.

Thank you, SuckMyWang for your input, really insightful
really, though, I’d argue the tree of knowledge is not enormous, but infinite
isn’t there a saying like: “The more you know, the less you know”?
I always wash with cold water, but that’s just because I’m impatient. Unless I’m about to get intimate with my SO, then my hands gotta be warm.
Y’all do know warm water cleans better than cold, no matter the weather, right?
