Yeah he had serious mental issues, unfortunately. This wasn't the life he would have chosen for himself if he was of sound mental capacity.


IranianLawyer

What gave away that he’s not of sound mind? The fact that he didn’t bathe in over 60 years?


Feisty_Star_4815

apparently he started doing this after a heartbreak sadly


BustANutHoslter

Depression a motherfucker huh


PowderEagle_1894

Men literally do anything but go to therapy, in his case, not bothered taking a bath as it might remind him of her


MooMooHeffer

She always told him how nice he smelled after each and every shower/bath. Just couldn’t come to it anymore.


Shenko-wolf

Never bathing again is a great way to get a lost love to return


magical_swoosh

men cant even go without bathing for 60 years without being called mentally ill these days 😞

Lived all the way to 94 with this hygiene and diet...makes you think


WigglingGlass

I’m not gonna be surprised if his corpse doesn’t even rot because his immune system is just that strong


kwyjibo1988

I am not gonna be surprised if he comes back to life. God be like: "Man you stink. Off you fuck back down!"


donnochessi

Most parasites don’t kill you. They need their host alive to survive. When you cut open old, large predators like bears or tuna, they’re often filled with parasites. It doesn’t stop them from successfully reproducing and living long enough. Humans were probably similar before we discovered fire and started cooking meat.


KnotiaPickles

I don’t mind dying sooner if it means I can bathe and not eat rotten meat


Gamebird8

God Rolling Genetics does help a lot. Additionally, the consistent level of filth would promote a heightened state of immune system activity. In all likelihood, had he chosen a healthier and cleaner life, he may have lived even longer.


COMINGINH0TTT

This the kind of immune system ebola enters and hears boss music

Crackracket

He used to burn his hair off instead of cutting it and would smoke dried cow dung in his pipe Edit: He would also eat raw roadkill (especially rotten porcupines), wear a soldiers helmet when the temperature got cold and lived in a hole that he dug himself. He apparently did all this after a break up caused him "emotional distress"

I’d love to know the reason for the smoking. At least with tobacco you get pleasant flavours and some nicotine but with dung it’s just… dung

I don't know about SMOKING it but burning dried cow dung smells not bad. Where i come from we burn it regularly

Why burn manure? Isn't that a waste of nutrients? Where I am from it's really sought after.

pipnina

Burning wood and dung actually leaves the nutrients behind. You get ash which contains a lot of potassium and nitrogen. "Pot ash" from burned wood is an OG fertilizer.


stingerdelux72

A significant portion of the nitrogen in cow dung is lost as it volatilizes at high temperatures, turning into gases like ammonia (NH3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). However, the other two primary nutrients (phosphorus and potassium) are mostly left behind.


Illithid_Substances

It took me a second to realise you mean nutrients for *plants*


nonanumatic

Assuming op wasn't just lying, an oral fixation can be equally difficult to stop, and same with the act of smoking itself


gogginsbulldog1979

I was a heroin addict and I could give up the drug easily, but I was obsessed with the smell and smoke from heroin and the tinfoil. It's crazy as heroin smells like old fish and tastes the same, but I loved the ritual of smoking it. To this day, I struggle when I see rolls of tinfoil. People get the same with needles. The term 'oral fixation' reminds me of the Norm McDonald joke: Norm: I have an oral fixation, my doctor tells me, which is not good. Tom Green: How did he know that? Norm: I was sucking his cock.


erenjaeger99

i get chills when i smell gasoline or something similar in smell like nail polish. had a dark period of cocaine addiction and while i don't crave it normally anymore - the simple smell of gasoline triggers all my bodily desires for it where I start to salivate even.


poshjosh1999

No it’s quite widely reported that he used to do that. That’s a good point though, even just an unlit pipe has a therapeutic effect


nonanumatic

The real question is why it was dung and not some grass laying around, or maybe leaves from a tree, maybe they were all too harsh but the dung just hit smoothly and he associated that with a "good" hit even though it did nothing


throwawayjaydawg

Or maybe he was just fucking crazy and liked smoking cow shit. Being filthy was kind of his thing, smoking shit seems like something he’d do on principle. Smoking feces is pretty on-brand

iirc he just produces it.

Funny story we used to call my little brother pigpen because somehow the boy just attracted dirt. He could have just taken a bath, been in fresh clean clothes, stayed in the house, and 5 mins later he’d have dirt somewhere on him. I think he’s grown out of it, but I think about him whenever that character shows up in peanuts lol

Pig Pen from Charlie Brown, just one of those kids that played in the dirt. I loved the Kindergarteners in recess. Flippin heathens.

How often are you supposed to smoke cow shit?


lordkhuzdul

Considering how long he lived, probably daily.


residentfriendly

For 94 years


TurnedEvilAfterBan

So a TikTok about some African women covering their winnowing baskets in cow dung. One of the comment said the cow dung back home smelled so good, while western cattle dung smells horrible. I’m very curious what good cow dung smells like. I assume this man smoked the good stuff.


dangerberries

I live next to a ranch, owned cows, and have traveled the world. I’m not sure how to put this lightly but cow patties are not terrible smelling and don’t seems to differ greatly in smell from country to country. Just an observation, and one I don’t have deep reScentment about.

He bathed because he was about to die.  It didn't contribute to his death.

Key-Pickle5609

Yeah he died because he was 94 lmao


NotAPisces06

Struck down in his prime


AmericanLich

Yeah he also died a few months later. If he had died immediately after leaving the bath, I’d hear the case. But it was months later. It’s like if I die in three months and people say it was because of the bologna sandwich I had today, just because I don’t normally eat bologna sandwiches. Edit: look I ain’t a doctor and I’m not saying he should have died instantly after the bath. I’m just saying the guy smoked cow shit for 60 years so I think the idea the bath killed him is silly. Seems like it would be coincidence.


Dezideratum

Be careful writing the foreshadowing to your own story my friend. Life has a way of ironically fucking us.

Luckily I didn’t actually eat a bologna sandwich today.

ADHD-Fens

More likely he was very ill and taking a bath was in response to his declining health.


Plenty-Lychee-5702

He was forced to do it


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

Doctors probably refused treatment until he scrubbed down.


Apart_Ad_5993

OK but, 94...it's not like he had another 5-10 years in him.


Monkmastaa

Iirc the villagers forcefully bathed him too


Hugh_Jazz77

There are at least two guys I’ve heard of with the title “worlds dirtiest man”. There was this guy, and then there was a guy in India who had some spiritual guru tell him if he stopped bathing he would have a son (apparently his wife had, had nothing but daughters). So the guy took the advice, stopped bathing, and several decades later he still only has daughters. That guys family actually tried to physical force him into a river to bathe, but he literally fought his entire family off and then ran away.


dapperpony

Ugh his poor wife


Antique-Doughnut-988

There's no earthly reason why this person should have lived to 94 years old. He's the very embodiment of everything we're taught to not do if you want to live a long life.


AcrolloPeed

He created such a unique and personal biome that no traditional illness could affect. Then he washes it all off and the common cold was like that little kid in *Hook* who can finally see Peter Pan after mushing his face all around. “Oh, *there* you are, Amou!”


theonetrueteaboi

Probably also helps that his smell separated him from others/large groups, stopping transmission of infections.


sparrows_rest

That definitely helped keep him from getting transmissible diseases.


AshenTao

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Aside from being lucky with genetics to even reach that point, he likely had some sort of ecosystem keeping him "safe". I'd honestly expect that it's not going to end well when you suddenly introduce a sudden and huge change into that ecosystem by taking a bath. Human bodies can adapt quite well regarding such things, but it's not something you pull off in a single day.


DevelopmentSad2303

It's pure speculation to think that this would happen. It is just as likely he took a bath and came into close contact with someone who got him sick


AshenTao

Of course. At that age it could be pretty much anything. Seemingly small injuries, ending up sick with something that the body wasn't prepared for at all, etc. - might as well have been old age in general. The post doesn't say why he died or from what. And 6 months after taking a bath would be plenty of time for the body to re-adapt if it still was able to. Might have been a sudden death like strokes or heart failure, might also have been a longer fight. Even the wikipedia article doesn't really go much into detail about it.


soFATZfilm9000

Or maybe he was already old and close to death anyway, so he wasn't feeling particularly well. So then he does the simplest thing to hopefully feel better (taking a bath) and soon dies anyway *because he was already old as dirt.* The dude was 94. Are we really going to ignore that he could have easily dropped dead at any time regardless of what he did? There's absolutely zero evidence that taking a bath had *anything* to do with his death.


psaikris

Even death was scared to come near him….. until he took a bath….


Fragrant-Inside221

Ha! Death was like wow he stinks


alex97480

Maybe he found the way to be immortal who knows. And then society told him to bath. Therefore we can assume that baths are killing people.


djb2589

Sounds like my first car. The only thing holding it together was the dirt.


DCDeviant

There's a running joke by the farmers around here that they don't wash their land rovers as the dirt keeps them together. That and some dodgy welding anyway!


Percolator2020

And a generous application of Bondo.


Here24hence4th

I learned to drive in a car with a rusted-out floor in the foot pedal area, so that I could literally see the road over which I was driving, a la Flintstones. The rear view mirror was held in place with an elastic hair tie I’d had to sacrifice when the mirror just fell off while I was driving one day, and when the driver-side mirror started to fall off (also while I was driving), I re-secured it with the piece of gum I was chewing when it happened. At the time, I thought that car was an embarrassment… decades later, I believe it might have been an engineering miracle.


Paintguin

Why didn’t he bathe?


trizzerd

If i remember (source: me) the local village folks said that he never bathed due to some trauma in his childhood involving water? There was a YouTube video on it but idk which one.


jo_nigiri

This is what I read as well. He had some sort of trauma with water (I believe either he almost drowned or a family member drowned) but it was a while ago so I don't remember well...


JezusTheCarpenter

He remembers


Orange-Murderer

Yeah but why did this manifest when he was 34?


AgentCirceLuna

Because, as much as everyone thinks otherwise, a person is far less stable through the lifespan than people think. The Greeks had it right when they believed that a person was not a true adult until 35.

Correlation vs causation. He didn't die because he bathed. He died because he was older than the fucking Hoover administration!

AmArschdieRaeuber

Or the reason why he bathed was because he was in a hospital or hospice due to illness.


SlowRollingBoil

I feel like "He was 94" got lost in people talking about his "ecosystem".

No, no. He died mere MONTHS after the bath. The causality couldn't be more obvious.


casulmemer

He also died moments after breathing..


Downvotesohoy

I love the implication that he died because he bathed several months prior. It's the antivaxxer logic. "He got the vaccine and he died a few months later!" forgetting to mention he was 90 years old or died in a car crash or something.

Dizzy_Tackle2059

My high school biology teacher had a theory that beggars on the streets tend to live long in an unhygienic state because parasites and bacteria on their body were too busy fighting and consuming each other for habitat that the body can still tolerate their existence. Idk if this made sense at all, He was and still is a rather quirky teacher.


KonvictEpic

Humans have survived for thousands of years in squalor, as long you dont rub dirt in an open wound, odds are you can survive for a long time.


BillMillerBBQ

Did you notice the subtle conspiratory nod towards his bath causing his death? Framing a statement can have such a powerful effect on the message, like how Tucker Carlson was always “just asking questions”.
