So is the whole bathing in a barrel thing just an anime thing or do nips really do that and if so why...

a e s t h e t i c

How out of shape do you have to be to be unable to climb into a barrel?

Is this what ameritards actually believe?

It's called a Goemon bath (goemonburo), called that way because Ishikawa Goemon was executed by being boiled alive in a large kettle. The oil drum variant dates from the post-war period. War using a lot of fuel meant that in the aftermath there were a lot of empty oil drums available. And since most people weren't wealthy enough to have a proper bathroom in their home even if it wasn't firebombed to the ground, an oil drum it is.
You'll note that even in anime it's only really used when depicting historic settings, poverty or circumstances where a regular bath isn't available. That is, most people in Japan today don't use this kind of bath.

poorfags do that shit.

he's no wrong, literal paper cities, Industry that was god awful, Japan made up for it in it's Military by making their Civils donate steel well before the war started
shit the Japan only drove into China for resources and then deeper into SEA for more resources so yes, Japan was poor as shit

I am not even japanese and I did bath in a barrel as a kid couple times. Well, not really bath, it was more like a mini pool.

>it was more like a mini pool.
How fucking big was the barrel?

Big enough to fit 2-3 ~9yo kids.

Checked and keked

They like Mozart.

The eternal amerimutt strikes again.

I always wondered, doesn't the border of the barrel gets hot as fuck? Because it's like stepping inside a boiling pot, doesn't it hurt your feet and hands to lean into hot metal like that? They could put a wooden platform to not stand directly on the bottom of the barrel, but your hands and back are touching it all the time, how don't your burn your ass?

They were pretty poor before the Americans helped them. Their cities were in ruins, their industry and infrastructure destroyed, it’s a miracle that the US turned them into one of the highest GDPs

I need to rewatch Mitsudomoe

The water acts like a heat sink. Water is pretty good at it and there's a fuckload of it, which gives you a nice, even heat distribution.

This is the only guy who knows his shit itt. Don't listen to anyone else.

isn't it poos and niggers who do it?

The temperature they bath it is what really intrigues me. Do they bath at almost ebullition temperature? A literal fire under the barrel or cauldron cannot be just pleasant warm.

And how they cleaned the drums?

probably parafin

>tfw discovered the joy of bathing after watching anime
not as nice as a sauna, but much better than just a quick shower

Small fire, large barrel.

as long as they aren't literally standing on the bottom and the water can freely circulate the convection current should draw the colder water down
also the water

I'm just guessing here, but they don't necessarily need to be used drums. As long as the demand for oil drums is high (because of the war), they will be manufactured in high numbers. Once the demand drops, so will the amount that gets manufactured, but there will be time delay between the drop in demand and the drop in production, especially if the drop in demand is sudden. Even if the factories shut down their assembly lines the moment the news of Japan's surrender reaches them, by then they'll already have produced the next few batches that will now go unused.
High supply + low demand = low prices = baths for the masses

this is honestly incredibly hot

>all located in a city called Bath
kek

I want to smash these 'tatos.

So OP was on the right track with the poor thing?

It's not the city that was named after the hot springs, it's the word "bath" that originates from the city name

so all that oil soaked into their skin and thats why they smell so bad?

Which is a complete shithole outside of the tourist bits

Bath or the entirety of the UK?

>Bath or the entirety of the UK?
All of EARTH, user.

I went to bath 20 years ago it was a generally pleasant place, what happened since then?

>Their cities were in ruins, their industry and infrastructure destroyed
I wonder how that happened

Japs normally bath in around 40°C water anyway.
They are a bit masochistic

They launched a sneak attack on the world's foremost military superpower.

Oops

based and now I will try bathing in a barrel

I bathed in a rain drum as a kid during summer, it was made out of plastic so no fire heating it. Bathing in big bathing barrels, pretty much like , with an accompanying fire place for heating it is pretty popular here in Sweden. Especially in the autumn or during the winter when it's cold outside.

I assumed it was like a poor persons easy but soulful analog hot tub.

It's not the 18th century anymore Sven, get with the times and use a regular bath like a civilized country.

You are describing an industry that is not affected by the war and just keeps puming out barrels. With the resource and US problems they had I would not expect such a discrepancy between supply and demand.

You could also say the rest of the world struck first with their ABCD bullshit

The U.S wasn't the foremost military superpower at the start of the war. They just had more industrial potential than anyone else.

>They just had more industrial potential than anyone else.
Well, maybe not the USSR but that's kind of a moot point when they're on the same side.

>the world's foremost military superpower.
At that point?
They were the world's foremost industrial superpower. Militarywise they weren't too big yet.
That said, everybody knew that they had the potential of rapidly building lots of ships. The nips planned on taking early control of the field and then making themselves unassailable before their enemies could get back on their feet.
That said, the Japanese should have instead helped Germany crack Russia so that they could focus their efforts on the USA.

>maybe not the USSR
The country that had lost 95% of its industrial potential in the first few weeks of the war because it was all conveniently on the western front?

They were isolated enough to actually use that potential as opposed to the USSR. If Germany wasn't on its last legs it might have been a bit more critical for the soviets.

>If Germany wasn't on its last legs
That implies they ever were in a good position to fight from. They had no oil.

>They had no oil.
That was my entire point. Should have been more clear.

I know that was your point. My point is that they never had that oil. It wasn't so much the case that they were on their last legs so much as as it was that the Russians could afford to expose the Germans' weakness. Everybody else collapsed too quickly.
