Awesome Shower Fun

Okay, this morning I discovered something totally awesome in the shower.

That sounded kind of gross, but it wasn't meant to be.

What I discovered is called the

Forearm Waterfall!​

Oh man guys it was totally awesome.

This is how it's done:

1. Cup your hands to make a cone with the point at your wrists, expanding at the top with your fingers. Now, move your wrists about an inch away from each other. The point is to make a gap where the water, which you catch with your fingers, will go through.

2. Put this hand assembly directly in the path of the water, about half a foot (15 cm) away from the shower head. Point your hands so that the maximum amount of water travels through the hole between your wrists, and not off to the sides.

3. Now, put your forearms together, so that they are parallel. The water should run down your arms quite nicely now.

4. Here's the tricky part. Slowly open your arms at the elbows so that a sheet of water forms between them. With some maneuvering and a little bit of practice, you will be able to keep a sheet of water (the waterfall) between your forearms at a separation of up 90 degrees.

It is fun to look at and look through.

Good luck, and I hope you now have a new fun thing to do in the shower besides vigorously washing your privates.

I've done this before, and I'm still not sure I understand it.

Best use of time in the shower? Wearing goggles and looking at the stream from directly below.


Time well spent I can tell you.

Waste of water really. Big water restrictions where I live.

No shampoo mowhawks or soap bubbles for me :'(

where do u live?
Maybe he lives in California...

That would be kinda sad. Seeing as I'm right next door to the Great Lakes, we never have a problem with low water reserves. We have our own freaking decorative waterfall (Niagara Falls). You couldn't get away with a waterfall like that in front of your casino in Vegas even if you tried.

Forum games, maybe?

I dunno, this seems pretty dumb overall, but I guess it's not hurting anything.

Sorry for making such a dumb thread Crimson King and Eor...

I thought it was a cool discovery that ought to be shared.

Maybe it was my ADD typing?

This isn't that bad.

I have to confess to playing around with that sort of thing when I'm in the shower too. I like getting it so the water hits my shoulders and stretch my hands out in front on a bit of an angle with my fingers splayed out and having water "come out" from my finger tips.

If you angle your first arm above and leading to your second arm, then you can pass it from one hand to another. Like:

.............................o/
...........................o/
.........................o/
.......................o/
.....................o
...................o
.......\........o
.........\....o
...........\o
.............\o
.................o
....................o

And yes, Fdv, I do believe there is a connection between making finger-aqueduct systems and drought. Georgia is also in a state of drought, and I am an avid... "Hand Roman?"

I can't.

More ideas please.
Are you saying you can't do the Forearm Waterfall, or you don't have any privates to vigorously wash?

I dunno, the thing that Mic_128 said is pretty fun. That's where you position your body in such a way that the water runs down your arms and out your fingers. It has a very interesting sensation on your fingertips. See if you can get water to come out of all 10 fingers at the same time--it's not easy.

Sometimes I like to do crazy martial arts in the shower, just to see the water fly off at crazy angles. Punching water is fun.

EDIT: Whoops, Tom posted after I started making this post, so it's kind of redundant. Sorry Tom.

Then you're not doing it vigorously enough.

You definitely can. It gets chafed and sore and...

Well, I guess when you're using soap to wash your privates in the shower, that doesn't happen. I must be thinking of something else.

What if you're using soap that makes your skin super dry after its washed away?

It's nice to see that the thread got on track for what people were expecting after reading the title...

I too was expecting something completely different.

And I have about a million jokes just begging me to be said right now. Only my willpower is holding them back.

But I can feel myself laughing just thinking about them. :laugh:

Hey, I already mentioned how fun it is to vigorously wash your privates (and I made a reference to a certain tabooish bodily function). I don't think this thread will get closed that easily.

Tell your jokes! Just remember to be indirect about it, and use lots of metaphors, so that you can claim ignorance of the true meaning.

Me and my brother were showering once, and as a result of too much heat (as in from the sauna you perverts) his nose started bleeding. Instead of the old and boring "lay-down-and-hold-your-upper-nose"-trick, he sneezed the blood in huge blops, it looked like someone had DIED in there, quite gorily, I might add.

Shower-fun #1!

Oh yeah, Keku, I always get nose bleeds in the shower.

During winter, when it's really dry out, I get a nosebleed at least once a week. For some reason it happens in the shower, too. It's really annoying when you're washing yourself, and then all of a sudden your entire body is covered with blood, and you have to wash yourself all over again.

It is not awesome, nor is it fun.

Darn, that sounds sucky. I have never in my whole life experienced a nosebleed. The veins in my nose just aren't that fragile, and they're quite deep "in the flesh". On the contrary, my brother has them on a regular basis, and had them even more when he was a child. Blood was literally getting pumped out of his nose even though he was laying on the floor. Creepy.

I've had plenty of nosebleeds when I was younger(still have them occasionally, but definitly not as much as back then). My mom told me it was because I drank to much milk, I drank like a minimum of 1,5 liters a day I think. Still don't know if thats true because what I've heard is that milk makes your blood thicker, instead of thinner which my mom was claiming.

Also, she told me that the sky is blue because it's reflecting the ocean, so maybe it's better that I just forget everything she told me.

Milk shouldn't have any effect on your blood and thus your nosebleeds either. And yeah, moms aren't definitely always correct, but nearly. ;)
