Saunas are a tool in the overall healthy living tool box, helping generate shock proteins and the like, but a good ole cold shower, breathing exercises and Luigi Mangioni’s, and we’ll be back in business.

Right but I’m worried you’re still not getting that saunas are absolutely not a tool that other people have access to and that blaming them for spending their time in ways you don’t approve of isn’t helping.

I get it 100% because it’s quite basic. What’s interesting here though is most people don’t have access to very clean water, quality sources of foods and simple healthcare. I suspect, because of the clear access to internet connections, is that the majority of the folks whining here about not having access to saunas are most likely in the top 5% of the planet earth without realizing it or accepting it. But no saunaaaaa boooo hooo.

What an abyssmal, inconsiderate take. Yea, other people have it worse, that’s a dead-end way of thinking that only lowers floor and excuses how exploited everyone is.

You’ll live. It’s only 1 & 0 buddy, hit the sauna and get over it. “Abysmal “ lol
