I'll take 2

Jokes on you, I got a tankless water heater, so I can cry in my shower for hours on end!

I just learned these are a thing. Probably more energy Efficient thank keeping a warm tank of water in your house, I'm guessing?
- Pretty much, plus you don't have to worry about running out of hot water. They're pretty nice, and surprisingly simple to install.
- They're both good and bad. If you have older pipes that are narrower than modern pipes it can take a few minutes for the water to become hot. My parents live in a hundred year old house and installed one, it's nice once it finally warms up, but it can take a good few minutes. During the winter the water is ice cold and takes even longer to warm up.
  They are disappointed with it, but they had already sunk like $5,000-$6500 USD on it.
- I can be. If you have a tank water heater it can be set up where it is off for most of the day but it will keep the water in the tank hot.
- It’s actually less energy efficient since it has to heat the water right then and there whereas a tank is insulated and builds on the heated water that’s already in there. But the trade off of basically infinite hot water and a smaller footprint is so worth it.
- They are quite common in the UK, and have been the default for a couple of decades now. They are definitely more efficient, compared to a tank, as well as taking up far less space. You just need to make sure the model you choose can keep up with the demand. Nothing worse than a tepid shower.
  The only situation I can see them being worse is with solar. If you have solar panels then dumping excess power into the water heater is a great way to not waste it. With a combi boiler, that is no longer an option.
I've legit slept in the shower when I was feeling sick as fuck because of a tankless water heater lol!
Idk why but hot/warm showers when sick are the shit
- that sounds extremely comfy and somewhat dangerous
My dang propane tank be hurtin when I be hurtin
All bets are off if I happen to put on an excellent playlist before I hop in
My apartment uses some kind of shared hot water main I could be in the shower long enough to slow cook the meat right off my bones

Thank you! I was gonna say what kind of bitch stops crying when the water gets cold. Cold is where your breakdown really gets productive!

This baby will give you nearly 8 months of hot water before needing to be replaced.

Just let me recirculate with water with a little heater and pump them rinse off with fresh stuff

Showers are like tactile white noise. Soothes my entire body.
