Strong disagree. This is an ineffective way to create boredom. Showers are overly stimulating, with horrible changes in temperature, the sensation of water assaulting you nonstop, and requiring laborious motions to do the bare minimum of scrubbing required to make society not mad at you. A much better way to be bored is to go on a walk outside or lift weights at the gym or listen to me talk about my data cleaning issues
“Stimulating” here is not quite the opposite of “boring”.
Many minds are used to said temperature changes, water assaults, and laborious motions, such that they still stimulate, but are easily ignored, leaving much space for thoughts.
Showers are boring by consistency, despite stimulation.
On another note, serious physical activity is something people might want to avoid while thinking hard. I remember reading that cognitive performance is weakened when brain is concerned with coordinating your movement and maintaining balance. This probably applies only to harder physical activities like lifting.

Society has no idea how much scrubbing you do while in the shower. This part is entirely optional.
I guess this is another case of ‘Universal’ Human Experiences That Not Everyone Has

Huh, Aella is more commited to the anti-shower stance than even Twitter would think.
