Well, how much do you inhale while you shower?

You’ll be happy when the lefties have destroyed civilization and you will be living in a cave and bathing in your drinking water.

It will be glorious comrade!

I always tell idiot leftists when they raise this crap: “ you go ahead and take a short shower, or drive a Tesla — and I’ll go set a few tires on fire in my backyard to make up for whatever you think you’re saving.”

Indoor air pollution from a shower? Who comes up with stupid crap? What if you took a shower outdoors? Would there still be pollution?

I thought we took showers to rid the world of indoor air pollution. What am I missing here?

I keep my shower running all the time. It keeps the asbestos popcorn ceiling damp.

The question is...

How much indoor air pollution do we produce when we DON’T take a shower?

Less than the indoor air pollution you produce from being a nasty pig who doesn’t shower?
