>tfw cold >Russian mother goes: "Ooh, poor little comrade - get under the three blankets and eat the soup. Just sweat it all out" >American mother: "Oh, Johnny, our little boy got cold. What should we do?" -"Fix him a cold bath, of course" [JFK smile]
So, the eternal question is, what is more retarded: overheating the body to the point little Jimmy/Vasya get the brain damage or taking the chances with the immune system being overrun by the virus?
And let's just get out of the way the smarmy connotation, such as >inb4 get a doctor / into the hospital
Alexander Gutierrez
American mothers give chicken noodle soup and a ginger ale
I have never heard of anyone taking a cold bath for a cold here
Benjamin Martinez
Cold bath for a cold? Is this what Russia thinks Americans do?
Alexander Wilson
then WHY. THE. FUCK crapload of Hollywood movies show that shit all the time >Cold? >Oh god you are hot (the body temperature) >Have a bath/ice cream
?
Nathan Williams
Yes! What the fuck is wrong with your, culture representing, Hollywood? Out of my head I can think of the two movies that did that shit with a straight face
Splice Jacob's Ladder
But i recall having seeing those scenes a whole lot more
Hudson Reyes
Sorry, guys, I think I fucked up/lost in translation.
Does "being cold" goes along with having a high-temperature fever in your country? Cuz that's what I've meant in the initial post - having fever with high temp.
Christian Hill
To show that they have a fever for the audience
The closest thing I have experienced to what you are describing is my mother putting a wet washcloth on the back of my neck when I had a fever
Owen Baker
Yes, being cold does mean being feverish. I saw Splice and I don't remember a cold(temp) bath scene at all. The ice cream thing is true though when you're a kid, and I don't know, I think it's just to make the kid feel better, as in happier, not healthier.
Connor Phillips
okay, fair enough, but i call bullshit on your jewish movie directors on that one.
I can go for washcloth, but still sounds a bit redundant, when you have your own sweat glands to both cool down and take any excessive shit out of the system
Isaac Myers
that was the scene where they figured out Dren could breathe underwater
Samuel Campbell
What Hollywood movies show as American life and culture does not actually show what American life and culture is.
Camden Edwards
putting a little bit of cold water on your neck and wrists is the best way to cool off quickly
Its what I do when it gets really hot and humid here in the summer too
Connor Cox
Alleviating symptoms also accelerates healing.
If I was sick as a kid, talking proper headcold/flu with barfing and diarrhea etc, I got coca cola (because it settles the stomach and is quick carbs = keeps you alive), mildly sweet biscuits (because carbs), cool damp cloth on my head and whatever cover was most comfortable, be it warm douvet (if I felt cold) or just a douvet cover (if I felt very warm)
Also paracetamol and ibuprofen up to recommended max daily limit, because it eases pain, relaxes muscles, lowers infections etc.
There's no "cure" for colds or flus, but you can ease the pain and lessen the load on the body.
Jason Flores
I used to take ice baths when I had fevers around 112 as kid.
I think I may have died if I didn't take ice baths.
Jace Taylor
but they have to - to a certain extent.
You are have to chase away the Joker once a year, right. RIGHT?! >don't fucking break my heart on this
Benjamin James
>I think I may have died if I didn't take ice baths. This is also possible. At that point the brain damage is the biggest problem, not the infection.
Gabriel Brooks
No actually we know that you using cold showed in order to masturbate. Since pack of vile shlosbergs cut off your foreskin with next 80% of erogen zone. So in order to some how get good fap you need to cool your tiny dick with a cold shower.
Jaxson Thompson
>sudden butt-fuck
but what are we doing in order to get off? That's right! Read the vatnik newspapers and sniff the Momentum the glue
Ryder Mitchell
Here's a second question I can't be arsed to make yet another topic for, lads.
Why the gimmeny fuck do the britbongs so hatefully afraid of us? That's not like we are stealing their jobs at Tesco or something
Gabriel Gutierrez
Wouldn't a warm shower be more effective because it expands blood vessels and thus allowing the penis to expand more?
James Long
How are we supposed to know? We just hate you because it's in our blood now
Zachary Sullivan
>I got coca cola Me too, strangely enough. Thought my family was the only one.
Carter Turner
The British are very childlike and can not take a joke.
They also like that BBC. No one hates Russia outside of memes anymore. Those days are long gone.
Anthony Moore
Such a shame. It's not like you can destroy us and get another bunch of vodka-glogging assheads somewhere near the Betelgeuse centuries later
Also >Never trust the fucking porcupine.. I mean, propaganda That goes for both sides
Asher Anderson
>No one hates Russia outside of memes anymore. Those days are long gone.
I was being facetious, honest. I love you, guys
Carson Allen
But I like memes
Thomas Price
>tfw cold "Mexican mother goes: "oh pobrecito - have some sidral"
James Campbell
ii can go for that treatment, madre!
Jose Watson
No idea never needed at shower since i am not a muslims\jew. You tell me.
Nicholas Jackson
Its actually harder to do it in the shower because you need something to lubricate your penis in there
Normally I just sit on the couch/a chair and rub it with my own saliva and it feels fine
Ryan Martin
You are supposed to take a cold shower or bath if you have a big fever
Christian Long
>opens pores trash
Nathan Clark
What if your immune system will break?
Oh look who's talking - the abo with constantly opened pores Of course, you wouldn't bloody notice the difference, shitcunt
Kayden Reed
Of course not. You'd be soaking wet and have no grip. Your dick has to be nice and dry in order to whack off.
Also masturbating while naked is always best.
Gabriel Wilson
>Also masturbating while naked is always best.
are you implying that you take your shower sessions in clothes/pants?
Austin Robinson
That's not at all what I meant, but thanks for playing.
Caleb Moore
>having the luxury to use hot water M-Must be nice.
Josiah Robinson
American sleep with their shoes on. I wouldn't be surprised if they also wear pants in the shower.
Bentley Hall
>one letter away from virtual paradise ah, cheer up - at least it's nowhere near the levels of fucked as in 20th century
Dominic Morales
Are you implying USA is a paradise? Poor deluded soul, haunted by fairy tales from the past century.
Lucas Adams
compared to Russia its probably a fucking wonderland
