This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Japanese home baths are almost always right next to a shower, and you take a shower before getting in the bathtub to soak. Because you're clean before using the tub, a family will leave it full until everyone has had a bath. They still empty the tub after everyone has used it though-- it's not like they keep the same water for days on end.
It's a similar concept at bathhouses, where everyone gets in the same baths after showering.
Woah we used to do that when I was a kid, my dad would bathe after me. I thought we were just poor but now I guess we were just Japanese
With that phrasing, I don't know if you're confirming your nationality or just discovering it. I'm excited for you either way
Now I just have The Vapors, "Turning Japanese" stuck in my head
