But I’m sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn’t something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?

      Lokal temperatur is not the same as global temperatures, it can be cold in one place and blazing hot in another…

              I mean they presume that people experience heat. We all know the weather changes, it’s a bit patronizing to be like “well u know its not always hot, on this post about heat”.

              We know lmfao.

      Same mate, I was waiting for our traditional European summer heat wave and the Indians and Americans took it all for them :(

    A few months ago, I bought some fake/vegan leather shoes and they didn’t quite fit. So, I figured, I’d try the old leather shoe trick, where you fill them with water, put them on and let them dry+shrink to fit your feet.

    And it actually kind of worked. But I had decided to just leave them on for basically the rest of the day. And that wasn’t a great idea.

    My foot soles had soaked with water and gotten wrinkles that carved about a centimeter deep. Even after taking the shoes off, I was in pain for a few hours. It felt like the soaked skin was constantly pulling on my flesh, because their shapes didn’t fit together anymore.

    So, yeah, I imagine, the same would happen, if you bathed for 8 hours. You could somewhat mitigate it, by covering your whole body in vaseline or some other form of fat.
    I guess, you could also try bathing in rapeseed oil or such directly…? I’m not actually recommending this, though. 🫠
