The Bathtub We All Deserve: Deep Enough to Disappear In

The X post from user @elizhater1982 (ブルーベリー) shows an illustration comparing two types of bathtubs:

- A traditional shallow, sit-up style tub (common in many homes).

- An ideal deep, horizontal soaking tub where a person can lie flat fully submerged.

The caption simply says "こういうのがいい" (meaning "This kind is good" or "I want one like this"), humorously expressing a preference for the luxurious, fully immersive bath experience.

This references Japanese **ofuro** culture, where deep soaking tubs are designed for relaxation, with the body submerged up to the neck while sitting upright—but the meme exaggerates it to a long, coffin-like tub for lying down completely.

As of December 27, 2025, the post (from December 26) has gone viral:

Popular replies include:

- Jokes about the water cooling quickly or not being deep enough.

- A poetic take comparing ordinary baths to "post-war Japanese restraint" vs. the ideal as "drowning in pleasure."

- Memes showing practical issues (like ending up floating awkwardly) or solutions (like using "gill breathing").

Here are some examples of real Japanese-style deep soaking tubs (ofuro) for context:

It's a fun, relatable meme about dreaming of the perfect bath!
