If it oscillates that fast, it might not feel very different from a normal shower
This could be better than existing pressure balance based mixing systems, assuming it allows you to adjust the hot vs cold pulse width
Thermostatic is dead. Embrace thermovariable.
I currently need to replace my showers mixing valve. When will this product be available?
Pulse Water Modulation
Unfortunately it is stuck at 10⁻¹⁴M and a gamma producer.
I can make this worse. The Katy Perry song Hot N Cold starts playing full blast every time you turn the shower on.
I can make it better by changing it to Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis and the News. Which does contain the lyric, “She’s hot and cold” but also contains the lyric, “hot lovin’ every night,” and so is infinitely better.
That’s from their album Sports! It has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I never quite got this monologue. I think the idea was that the character was reciting someone else’s review of these musicians, as if it were his own sophisticated take. But in what world is Huey Lewis at all bitter and cynical especially compared to Elvis Costello?
Patrick and his clique are a bunch of superficial morons who have no idea what they’re talking about a lot of the time. They blindly follow popular trends, do what everyone else does and say what everyone else says. They have no personal opinions and are too shallow to form any. Guy probably sat down and wrote that “analysis” by imitating other people’s reviews of other media, and then memorized it to recite at people. The discussion they have at that dinner is like that too. They’re just regurgitating rehearsed and memorized statements about some social issues they clearly know nothing about and don’t care at all.
god i should really watch american psycho
Is that the scene where Batman kills the Joker with an axe?
why would hot n cold playing (good) make the extreme sensory hell shower (good) worse?
acclimatization
“Worse” means better. It’s Gen Alpha slang. It’s like sick, bad, nasty, gnarly, phat, etc
I was in a band called Extreme Sensory Hell Shower.
We randomly switched between German Schlager, Doom Metal, Muzak, Swing, Acid Jazz, Reggae, Polka, Latin Dance, Bluegrass, and Hard House WITHIN tracks to make sure that nobody was ever having a positive experience for more than a few seconds at a time.
And no, we weren’t especially proficient or even enthusiastic about any of the genres.
This sounds terrible. I like it!
German Schlager
There’s a special level of hell reserved for you for starting with this
At least I’ll be in good company 😁
How did you randomize the changes?
Very carefully.
Add some menthol and capsaicin to the body wash too, just for an extra “fuck you” even after the shower.

I once touched an experiment in the form of a metal wire coil where each alternative loop was hot and the other cold. It felt superhot instead. I feel like this would be similar.
SUPER
HOT
You can recreate this with sausages or some cooked vegetables. We do it at science fairs.
Set them up in an alternating pattern of cold, hot, cold, hot. Let somebody place their arm on top. They’ll feel like they just got a severe burn, even though they’re fine and the sausages are not hot enough to cause any harm.
That’s just PWM with a liquid.
My gf has been dealing with this with her shower for the past 2 weeks without any extra device. Showering there is an experience.
GF: I can make your real life wilder than any fantasy!
Le you: Noooo!! Not like that!
Our relationship is hot and cold.
Lol
If you want cursed showers you should see how Latin America provides hot water to their showers
Wait, what?
Electric heating element in the shower head.
Wat
It sounds scary, but there’s no direct path to the electricity since there is no laminar flow between you and the showerhead and most of the water that is passing over the showerhead is not especially electrically conductive because there are no salts mixed into it that don’t come directly from the water plant.
It has to actually have a mechanical fault that doesn’t cause the shower heater to stop working and you have to come physically into contact with the shower head while that fault is going on in order for you to get zapped.
But it is possible for you to get zapped by them, and some people have died, I am sure, although I don’t personally have any proof.
Your comment seems to rely on people not being able to hold the showerhead in their hand. Are they all fixed/rain type showers?
The ones I have seen are.
I feel it would be rather dumb to hold a 240 volt appliance directly in your hand.
That being said, there might be shower nozzle attachment things, but I don’t actually know. It’s just a supposition.
Electroboom has a good video on them.
“Suicide showers”
That kills fewer people than gas heaters…
On the other hand, I’ve yet to hear anyone being killed by a regular shower head.
Legionella just entered the chat. If your hot water isn’t hot enough you might be breeding them in your water lines and aerosolizng with your shower head.
I’d think Legionella is a lot less of a problem with suicide showers.
You mean one with only cold water?
Do they use electric pumps as Britain does?
Britain has 2 showerheads 50cm apart from each other. One has cold, the other hot water
Obligatory, my plumbing is older than your country.
You actually do find these types of faucets in hospitals still. Legionaires mitigation
A parallel universe where William Osman still post in his main channel:
My favourite compost influencer!
Cross post to shower thoughts?
Lol, you’re welcome to
It probably already exists at CIA black sites
Also in my bathroom.
There’s something wonky with the water pressure on the cold side. Think I need a bigger tank or something. Pump runs very often and short spans, so the pressure oscillates. Hot water from the boiler is fairly consistent in comparison.
Can confirm. The plumbing in every household in the UK, regardless of class, is notoriously shit lol
Anyone who’s dealt with old plumbing instantly recognizes this. The drawing is painfully accurate.
It would. Also because that device would probably make a loud vrooming sound.
You call it “sensory hell”, but a grifting entrepreneur somewhere is putting together an ad campaign for “Natural healing PulseHead shower! Just $69.99! Comes with our satisfaction guarantee!”
