5-10 minutes if I'm just trying to quickly get clean.
30 minutes+ if I'm not in any rush and take my time.

I'll waste all the goddamn water I want.

Australian here, shouldn't you just be able to keep it turned to the side at the appropriate heat, then just pull up to start the water (Assuming it's a pull up and twist to the appropriate side with up controlling water flow and side to side determining heat)
Welp sorry that's not the right picture, I just posted the first one I could find on Google Images that's not a thermostatic mixer.

My shower tap is more like this actually:

Hot on the left and cold on the right. I have to turn them both to zero to turn the water off, so I have to set the correct temperature every time.

It's usually 10-15 minutes when I'm getting ready for work. If I'm not in a rush I can take up to 30 minutes as long as the water stays hot.

5 minutes (or less) generally, maybe 10 minutes the couple times a week I wash my hair.

Oh yeah, that's more like what I was thinking it'd be. We have that, I basically just remember how many turns I need to get to my desired temp for each, and get the hot tap going first so it's got some time to warm up, but also not be afraid to hop in if the water is cooler than you'd like (Not like, straight cold water) and letting it heat up while you're in there or doing adjustments on the fly

On topic, I was taught 5min showers cause I grew up in drought with no town water. Basically it was get in, wet and shampoo hair, while shampoo sits you scrub the rest of your body, usually soap or body wash on a pouf sponge, rinse body and shampoo all at once, drag lil bit of conditioner through hair, wash out, get out.

Now I probably have 10min showers to avoid the rush that a 5min shower entails, but also still be conscious of the water useage

i try to aim for less than 10 minutes, if I go over I just feel like I'm being wasteful.

I time out my mornings for 10 minute showers before work, but left to my devices it's usually 15-20. I really like showers, I find them cozy. It's exceedingly rare that I leave the shower because I'm bored of being in there.

Usually have 1-3 showers depending on if I exercise before work, and if Im active during the day. Cut them to 5 minutes each tho.

Anywhere between 15 - 30 mins depending on the mood. It's my me time. Sometimes I'll enjoy a coffee or beer while I shower.

Normally, only 5 minutes. If I'm dealing with depression than 15-20 minutes. It varys on my mental state.

I grew up in a series of apartments with horrible really low non-removable showerheads so I got used to taking baths instead. Still do almost all the time.

Probably around 5-8 minutes. I was everything I can reach. Not sure what people are doing in there so long.

Between 5 and 10 minutes. Anything more than 15 min is just water wasting.

Largely hangover and horny level related. Sober the day before and not horny, probably only like 3 minutes.

Horny probably a solid 15min.

Hungover it might be 30min lol.

Around 10 minutes, but I have short hair which makes it a bit faster to wash my hair.

5-10 min for a "speed shower" where I am just in it to get clean.

15-20 if I want to enjoy the water temp for whatever time of year it is.

Longer that 20 minutes means I am either sick, or in lots of back pain where hot water helps.

About 10 minutes. 2 minutes to bask in the first warm water, 1 to wash my (very short) hair, ~5 minutes to scrub my body and the remaning 2 minutes to lower the water temperature and enjoy the cooling effect before I get out and dry myself off.

I probably average over 11 minutes. I shoot for 8, but I always take longer somewhere than I'd like.

One of my life goals is to rinse off as quick as George Clooney in Burn After Reading. Legendary.

Usually between 10-15 minutes, not counting the time I turn off the water to lather up. I have this weird thing sometimes that puts me closer to the upper end where I just unintentionally stop and stare at the wall for a minute or two. Not really thinking about anything, just staring and drifting and until I snap out of it.

It used to be 20 minutes when I had longer hair, but since I have have cut extremely short since COVID began, it is now 10 minutes.

Wait, you lather with the water off?
