Icy water yes. But cold water was available, the whole reason people find cold water refreshing is because running water/spring water etc are cold and more likely to be safe to drink. While stagnant water were more likely to be warm and have more bacteria, making it lot less safe.
You never actually drank from a natural spring, have you?
My kitchen tap doesn’t carry that flavour
Depending on the aquifer the water temperature at the spring can be really cold, even in the warmest days.
hot water is a relatively modern luxury. you probably have a living ancestor that remembers not growing up with easy, or any, access to hot water, just hurtfully cold, refreshing water.
You might only have ice-cold water during the spring if you’re near a river that just flowed down from the mountains but even most well water is going to be much cooler than surface temperatures.
30°C air is hot as fuck, 30°C water is a perfect cold shower.
People don’t understand that they don’t have to agree with a shower thought xD
You don’t have to agree with an opinion. But people don’t get their own facts.
Nothing about a thought has to be factual.
When you make historical assertions it most definitely has to be.
