1. I live in an apartment and have no plumbing access
2. It's warmer than room temperature at the coldest setting.

So far I have come up with some ideas

*) Start a petition to hire someone to blow on the water until it is colder
D) buy a monthly subscription box for premium ice
3) bargain with the ifriti that lives in my pipes

consider adopting a cold blooded animal like a turtle as a pet and then drink the water it sits in.

fill up a lot of glasses and then put them outside in the shade, and whenever you want a drink of water you go to one of your outside water glasses and drink that

it helps if outside is not as warm as room temperature

sleep in a bath of increasingly warmer water until ur internal sense of cold shifts

Prof. Crocodile

As winter approaches you can open the tiny windows near the top of the water heater, to let the cold air in. This will cool the water nicely. If you want it warm again, simply close the tiny windows.

If for some reason your water heater does not have tiny windows, you can add some with a drill, a big rock, and a little elbow grease.

get a teenage girl to move into your apartment and tell her the cold water pipes are going to the prom with the hot football guy. the icy stares she gives your pipes should cool them off

What do you mean no plumbing access? Like, getting into the pipes in the walls?

you must go to work in the icefields where you will be paid in ice for your toil so you may finally cool down your water

And if you have access to the pipes under the sink you can connect the hose there and then reconnect it directly into the same tap. An elegant solution

# ? Nov 18, 2020 17:45

Kaiser Schnitzel: Schnitzel mit uns

The above is a good idea but here is a better one-instead of running the hose into the fridge drape it in front of your monitor and leave byob open all the time and the chill will radiate into your water

Wait. Have you tried NOT drinking water? I think that would solve your problem.

get a broken water heater that just makes water colder

Bright Bart: False. There is only one electron and it has never stopped

Blow on it.

This is the first hurdle you must overcome, op. Use a drill, a big rock, and some elbow grease to put tiny windows in that door. THEN you can access/install tiny windows on the water heater.

u can derive some consolation that the water will end up as a bunch of very cold component atoms once entropy has had it's little ways on us, OP

u could also take that pill german soldiers took in the siberian front to warm u up and the water will seem colder by comparison

Pot Smoke Phoenix: Smoke 'em if you gottem!

1) Run the water all the time into the sink so it draws up all that sweet, sweet cold water from deep beneath the Earth.

2) Run the water all the time into a nice water feature like a fountain or a koi pond in the middle of your apartment and then out a window (bonus: waterfall for your neighbors!).

3) Give up and stock the fridge with beer

4) Wait until the heat death of the universe when everything will at least be the same temperature, celsius OR fahrenheit

GODSPEED JOHN GLENN: I put my thumb up my bum and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.

Due to the laws of thermodynamics and the way time and entropy are intertwined, we have many ways of heating things up, but entropy and radiation are pretty much the only ways to cool things down. I suggest changing thermodynamics, time or both.

I've been thinking about lowering my global warming footprint so that the water is colder. It might take a while though. :thunk:

Go buy some bottled water and put it in the fridge until it's really cold. Drink the cold bottled water in front of your tap while sounding really refreshed and commenting on how you don't even need tapwater anymore

You obviously need to find a way to hack into the utility room They are clearly holding your water heater against its will and it is warming your cold water as a cry for help

Plant MONSTER.: I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

like jsut do what they do for cooling at nuclear plants use hyper chilled substances and have them run like parralel with the water pipes and when the water touches the cold pipe it gets real cold

dig a well to cocytus and borrow their water

cast ice magic on the water

just some ideas
