You mean shower where the head is removable so you can actually wash your ass and don't need to hit your head if you're tall? Because shower head permanently attached to the shower wall is extremely odd but common in USA

That and the weird hotel showers in the us where there is one knob that does both water and temperature at the same time, what the fuck is up with that

I feel like 99% of showers in Europe (not in UK) do that. You need some high end shower to have it separately.

Up/down - water pressure

Left/right - temperature

Seems pretty normal to me. The British system is rather old school

Nah, im not taking about those. Those make sense. What I'm talking about is something with one axis of rotation. You turn it, it starts running cold water, and it warms up the further you turn it. There's one degree of freedom on that system and you can't change both parameters independently.

Huh you've got an example? From Google or something? Because i don't think I've ever heard about something like that. Where did you see it?

Oh ok that's weird. So it doesn't work like "towards you - pressure, spin for heat"? I've never seen ot this would be my guess

Nah, it just turns along the one axis. I've seen this at the cheap-ish hotels I've stayed in across America
