Executive dysfunction?
I still will as I feel weird if I don’t, but on my days off when I have nowhere to go it’s not as easy if I don’t in the morning.

When I’m at zero I don’t wanna get to 1 and vice versa.

The issue with the shower for me is being cold, and especially cold and wet, which is why I like to put the heating on before getting in, so at least the bathroom is warmed up first.

100%, gym showers are so much easier because i’m already warmed up from the workout and the water starts pretty warm too

Melville opens his epic sea faring tale by stating people are inexplicably drawn to the sea. I think it is due to one of the most painful, drawn out, and reoccuring emotion: regret.

I’m ready Moby Dick for the first yime right now and i absolutely love it! I love stories about the sea. I want to reread it again in a few years and do a journal about the book. I wanna be one of those freaks that writes a report about every chapter. I’ll post every one on my blog and forward the post to my aunt who’s a retired highschool English teacher. Let her know all those years as a public teacher weren’t for nothing.

I wonder if you would like the Mars Trilogy books by Kim Stanley Robinson. Same deep details, but about geography (on Mars).
Like Melville, he takes you into another world, in depth.
OTOH, you may hate the dryness!
In any case, you got me thinking I’ll take another pass at Moby Dick. Had the little kid’s book as a child and loved it. Haven’t read the novel for 30 years!

Check out the movie In The Heart of the Sea. Got moderate reviews, but you might find something about it you enjoy.

I grew up on the ocean and one of the most comforting “at home” feelings is being out past the breakers, disconnect my board leash, and just dive deep down, exhale enough air out my lungs to stop floating, and just sit on the ocean floor for a few seconds in beautiful silence.
And then stupid lungs run out of air and I have to resurface.

I grok.
I’ve lived on the shore my entire life, and there’s nothing quite like being in the ocean.
saltesc@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Grok? All I see is it an AI chatbot. Contextually, I doubt that’s what you’re referring to lol. Is it a diving form?

Get yourself a weight belt for scuba diving and you can expand your ground time a bit. Get a full set of scuba equipment and you can sit there for hours (depending on depth, size of your tanks and how relaxed you are). :)

I’ve never SCUBAd haha. I don’t know why, it makes sense, but I’ve never been drawn to it and I can’t really explain why. I love the freedom of movement and not having to think about other things.
Feediving I can’t get enough of. But my record swimming underwater is around 2:10 and I enjoyed every second of it—relaxed, efficient, flowing—but I had to stop because it felt like I could do it forever. And that’s the paradox of shallow drowning. When the euphoria of the ocean inexplicably more euphoric, the Sirens calling, it’s time to surface. I guess like a diver checking their gauges.

I wish the sea was a bit clearer where I live. But I’m summer I often go to the beach for a swim in my lunch breaks.
It’s interesting reading how terrified some people can be of the sea, and others are fine with swimming in it. Wouldn’t mind doing some shallow freediving but there isn’t much to see around here.

Last time I went to a beach, it was during southern winter (tropical climate, so temps never dropped under 20ºC). The only thing that kept me from going further out swimming was the amount of jellyfish being carried by the current.
saltesc@lemmy.world 3 days ago
It’s not really about what you can see and clarity, but it’s true that clearer water is much more psychologically inviting.
We’ll bring a smooth granite pebble out with us, while waiting for the swell, drop it down and take turns bringing it back up. We’ve had dolphins join us in the game once before.
But definitely I don’t feel the appeal of diving down and doing that when the sky or water is dark and unclear. It’s less inviting.

I used to do that in the swimming pool (I have always lived far inland) it’s often called dangerous on the mistaken belief that it’s like shallow water drowning where someone hyperventilates to swim underwater longer; since those people have blown off so much CO2 they don’t get a signal to breathe and suffocate.
Our method doesn’t involve hyperventilation, and wow does the need to breathe get strong
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I was in my younger years blessed with the ability to hold my breath for nearly five minutes. I used to stay down so long people would get worried. I never did anything other than take a full breath. Hyperventilating always shortened my dive times.
saltesc@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Haha, I just responded to another comment of having to pull myself up from shallow drowning. It’s for real, but I think it’s specific to people with good long capacities—doing a lot longer than the average. I can easily hold my breath for 60s, but 90% of people can’t. Shallow drowning is not a situation 90% of people could find themselves facing.
I always remember brain damage can start occuring after 180s, so start questioning at 120. Nothing wrong with coming up for a couple mins of good fresh air before going down again.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I have to imagine that but I’ve done the same thing in a river too muddy to see one foot in front of you. It always feels wonderful. Somewhere in that back brain of ours is a genetic memory of peace and happiness.

Also grew up on the ocean and in the water, and I love floating with my ears underwater to block out the surface world and tune in to the water. I could fall asleep like that if I wasn’t always hyperaware of other people and worried they’ll fuck with me lmao
