OP is giving Dirk crap for taking really long showers. Ablutions is a terms for washing oneself (that I'm fairly certain is used within the comic). I'm just asking why dirk can't take his showers however he wants

It's the troll term and even what the Condese changed the name of showering to when she forced humanity to become more like trolls

he's lived alone his whole life, he watches anime, he was 13, i believe the answer is obviously dissociating

u/alteracio-n 3d ago

honestly the thing about living alone his whole life makes me think the answer is he just has no sense of hurrying up his activities

He was awake on Derse, showers allowed him to focus his attention there.

with paradox space and sburb having so many viewports into houses, one might assess the shower to be the only truly private place
