Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

For me it's hot showers. I always imagine what it must have been like to live in Rome, in a mosaic tiles bathhouse, and experience this miracle of hot water on demand. (My fantasy glosses over the horrors of slavery that made it happen, lmao.) But I think about how for most of history, that experience was limited to the very wealthy, limited to spas, and so on. Showers are amazingly nice. Cold showers can also evoke this feeling, but those remind me more of standing under a waterfall, which is an equally lovely fantasy, but something available to humans since the beginning of the species, and so not fitting the question, I guess.
