Yep, certain words for example really just mean “you” if taken very literally but have taken on rude undertones (temee, kisama) to convey what Western languages would use taboo words for.

It’s sometimes said that Japanese people don’t know and don’t understand sarcasm but really they just have different ways to make you feel stupid that don’t (necessarily) register as sarcasm to Westerners, like being overly polite.

And hopefully afterwards you learnt that you keep producing sperm, right? So even if you had a bath that was hot enough to kill off your current batch, you’d have them replenished shortly after.

I can absolutely relate but bathing that often is bad for your skin. Might also affect your circulation in the long run. Mind you, daily showers aren’t exactly the best thing you can do either (exceptions apply).
