Would you take $2M dollars cash if all you had to do was take ice cold showers for the rest of your life, would you accept the deal?


Anyone who said no to this who is not a trust fund baby might want to reconsider. You could easily live just on the interest of this money alone for the rest of your life. Or make some dope investments. You would be FREE to fully pursue any dreams you have.
Would you rather go to work for many hours a day, every day, in a job that may not satisfy you; or have one cold shower a day and be LIBERATED? Cold showers are really good for your nervous system anyway. Wim Hof teaches all about this.
I would rather not be "liberated" if this is the price I must pay.
@Rachelspiks you must really, really, REALLY hate cold showers!
I don't even like warm ones, because I hate being wet.
Cold showers are bad for skin and very uncomfortable. Many people actually like to work as long as the job is enjoyable.
@Babygirl_S actually they are very good for the skin, since they tighten pores and create better circulation.
Fuck yeah
I wouldn’t limit my freedom for life in exchange for money. That said cold showers aren’t a big deal when you live in a warm climate. You get use to them after the second or third day. They are actually enjoyable for a while. I’ve gone months taking cold showers without thinking much about it, but eventually I drift back to warm ones.
I'd be a rich cold black ass mother fucker for sure but I constantly have chill bumps and a shriveled up dick too that's all right I'm rich bitch😉😂😂😂😂😂

Hell yeah I would. I can bear the temporary pain. That's way better than having to worry and stress over student loans. It's also way better than being stuck in some soul-sucking corporate desk job. I can literally do anything else I want like traveling
There are plenty of benefits to cold showers and I'm sure I can make myself do it, especially for that kind of cash. :)
That is like sacrificing one's life for something that won't even last a year.
or at most two and you'd be dead before a year is over.
Even if it is a trillion dollars, I wouldn't still be game.
I take showers with the cold cranked up all the way up! It has great side affects! It wakes you up, promotes circulation of blood, stimulates nerves.
And for those trying to lose weight it promotes weight loss.
All you have to do it take it slow and work your way up to full blast cold. Once you do it’s amazing and I’m never going back!
No. I wouldn't survive. I'm not sure there is any amount of money that could make cold showers for life tolerable for me. I would switch to sponge baths for $500M.
Cold showers are actually good for you believe or not.
@PoliteSpeaker I believe you. I just can't tolerate cold water. I have a swimming pool and I won't put my toe in the water if it's not at least 86F.
No way! You can keep the two million. I hate taking showers even when they're warm, but when the water is even slightly cold it's actually painful for me, I can't stand it.
Ooh that's cruel. I specifically shower to warm up because it's stupid cold where I live for like 6 months and I'm NOT paying the electric bill to keep my place at 22º.
Still, yeah I'd say yes
No way, I love my water hot. Whoever says yes to this has never been truly poor.. I've been there and done that and would do it again. But I was always able to heat up the water a little bit to feel comfortable.
lol... I only take cold showers and have been doing that for decades.. even around 45F temps... but also, I'm in Texas
To be honest, I love long hot showers (and hot bathes). In addition, I hate cold- cold weather or cold water. I'm saying no.
There is actually some studies that claim cold showers are actually rather healthy for you.
It's true! I'd totally do this as long as I could still go swimming, diving, etc, in regular water. I mean, I could handle cold showers, especially if I was in a hot country, no problems. I do this anyway. Maybe not ICE cold, but all cold with no hot.
How is that even possible?
@Rachelspiks Here's a couple of ideas why:
1. When you wash with warm/hot water, the pores on your skin relax and open up. When you use cold water, they constrict and close. Closed pores are less susceptible to infection, and constricted skin is more taut and youthful looking. Many beauty routines involve the use of cooling to constrict and tighten both pores and skin in general.
2. A cold shock to the exterior of the body activates the autonomic nervous system and attenuates the immune system response. In other words, your immune system is drilled to keep in peak condition. There are many who participate in a "polar bear club" or similar event, which involves group sessions of dunking themselves in icy waters (usually the ocean or a frozen over lake). Members attest to the health benefits of this practice.
Nah, i make plenty of money, wouldn't give it up for even 2 billion.
I like a nice hot shower, and not always alone.
bro i already do that, where the fvck is my 2M?
oh innit it's the money i save from the heating ah i get u
I have soap allergies.. I need my warm water for the amount of time it takes to rinse properly.
Ha! No. Warm showers are worth more to me than 2 measly millions.
Wouldn't take the pay cut.
Also, you would be dead within a month.
Considering what I would do with the $2 million, I would NEED a cold shower every night :)
2 million pershower, or is it only once and I'm stuck with decades of cold showers?
Fun fact: Ice showers are actually good for you. There are several studies done on this. you can look this up.
Fun fact: no, they're not. "Several studies" eh? Name just one.
@Rachelspiks Not crazy about doing your leg work for you, crazy about your curiosity and moxie. So here you go:

You see, that wasn't too difficult :)
Moxie? Will have to look up that word.
That'll really suck in the winter but I'll do it for the 2M cause that'll make me able to change my life a bit.
