Is 2 days without shower really that bad? I frequently go 2-3 days without showering, especially if i am not physically active.

[–] balls_expert@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I shower twice a day and don't do shit god damn don't you sweat?

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is usually considered bad for your skin

[–] balls_expert@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I need my balls lickable and my ass eatable

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Even if sweating unless is super excessive twice a day seems super excessive.

Is this really a post both gatekeeping poor hygiene and implying it is positive? Gross dude, take a fucking shower.

(pssst If you wanted the nerd emoji to look bigger you need to add a space after the #)

like this

🤓

or add 5 more #s to make it tiny

🤓

Or use an image to make it even bigger

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does look bigger without the space, you need to not be using an app with a horrible poverty renderer

[–] lukini 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the sopuli website an app with a poverty renderer? Because it's broken there.

Kinda seems like whatever you're using has non-standard rendering.

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The website isn't the issue, the issue is that your browser isn't implementing Lemmy's version of markdown correctly.

[–] lukini 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not on sopuli. You are. I checked to see if it's on my end, but it's on your site, too. In all browsers.

Edit: And lemmy's documentation on markdown includes a space. It seems whatever app you're using didn't implement markdown correctly. No one outside the app will see it correctly unless their app also messed it up.

Take less showers if you wanna talk to me, normie.

[–] BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tf 8 points 1 year ago

I’m good, I don’t even want to talk to myself when I’m all stinky Lmao.

[–] trex@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 year ago

Please take a shower

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

I literally have to carry around a peppermint oil soaked hankerchief some wilting Victorian maiden because of people like you D:<

[–] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago

What they're not mentioning is the taking Estrogen part. That'll cut waaaay back on the ick smell.

[–] jan_Melisa055@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago

It doesn't sound as bad. Unless it's really hot outside.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Wondering if this is an unpopular opinion: if you don't like the unwashed smell of your partner then that's your body telling you you're not a good biological match.

[–] regul@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that sounds like weird evopsych bullshit

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] regul@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think smell is even in the top 50 reasons that people end up with their partners, consciously or subconsciously.

If anyone's done a test of whether long-term partners generally adhere to those pheromone rules I'd consider that interesting, but initial attraction, scent-based or otherwise, isn't what determines long-term compatibility with a person.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Sure. That doesn't mean smell isn't telling us something though.

[–] NightAuthor 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s a difference between a natural musk and just straight up dirty though.

That being said, you’re unlikely to be considerably dirty after 2 days of chillin inside.

[–] Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I like the smell of my partner in the morning, but not after a hot sunny day. I think there are different levels of unwashed to consider.

[–] Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Guess I am no match with anime fans and gamers

some people just have a smell that nobody would like so Imma judge that take complete horseshit

[–] hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dont let the normies get ya down, i too love certain peoples stink. Especially armpits 🤷

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Let your freak flag fly :3 :3

[–] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I get the feeling that whoever originally made this wasnt entirely serious...

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Two times a week is sufficient for most people. That's medical advice straight from every Nurse I've worked with 🤷‍♀️
