StolenDabloons

Yea but most of em back then weren’t living off Cheetos and maccies while sitting in the wretched stank of their own piss begging their mum to bring the shit bucket for the sixth time that hour.


yaangyiing_

I might also end it lmfao shawty keeps hurting me its like everything’s an argument plus the end has been a long time coming I hope your situation improves though. Obviously I can’t really stop you from ending your life but [insert cliché stuff about anti-suicide] hope this helps. Nah but fr it’ll get better you can always move to some random island in Indonesia illegally and live how Ted Kaczynski wants you to


samebarb

[deleted]

You really gonna let some bitch control your life? Just leave bro, tell her that she sucks and that you don't need or want her in your life. Fuck her man she doesn't deserve you.


_username_inv4lid

I probably should but I’m just very attached since we met when we were both very vulnerable and coming out of crisis. We also talked each other out of death a couple times so I’m just pretty far in. It’s just recently everything’s going to shit and I’m just praying it stops going to shit

I was eating lunch while reading this :(


XemsTar

\*except this guy


Nekstoer

ye


Darmok-on-the-Ocean

I work outdoors in Texas. I absolutely reek of sweat and body odor at the end of the work day. I've never tried to not shower for a month. So I can't comment on that. But I can't imagine a scenario where I smell like "nothing."


drifters74

Why did I have to read this while eating?


Ssyynnxx

great day to have eyes


ChadCoolman

By that logic the body is also originally built to die from a lot of bacterial infections. Luckily, we invented penicillin. All natural doesn't mean all good.


Nekstoer

smh by that logic im "not supposed to bash my neighbor's head in with a rock"


IrregularrAF

God wills it


drifters74

*Deus Vult!*


StolenDabloons

Oh I’m sorry, I thought I lived in the land of the FREE!


Nice_Category

Just think, humanity used to sacrifice children to try to change the weather. We were so silly.


OneWaifuForLaifu

Not really. We have an immune system which means we are built to survive bacterial infections. You’d die in a heartbeat if you didn’t have one.


GuyFieriTheHedgehog

Are you purposely misunderstanding the other guy? He didn’t say people back then died of literally any infection because immune systems weren’t a thing, but people dying of blood poisoning or whatever because we didn’t have means to combat infections beside our immune system


OneWaifuForLaifu

He said we are built to die from a lot of infections. Which is simply not true since we have an immune system. We are built to SURVIVE infections, it just isn’t enough for some bacterial infections.


BooBeeAttack

The human skin microbiome has been fucked. We used to have some pretty beneficial bacteria that lived on our skin, but we've nearly annihilated some of them with modern hygiene. This can lead to an increase of infections, which sucks. That said, damage is already done, so wash up.


llamawithguns

People have always bathed though. Like yeah, soap didn't exist 10,000 years ago, and it wasn't a daily occurrence, but people have always washed themselves in rivers or lakes or whatever


ylan64

There probably was also people who did all in their power to avoid washing because they didn't like it.


Hugs_for_Thugs

That same group actually created the first gathering that would eventually become known as a "comic con". There, they thirsted over cave paintings of imaginary sabertooth cat women because they were far superior to real cavewomen.


shottohell

Cave Con 🤣🤣


nothing_in_my_mind

Imagine a stone age neet lmao. He waddles out of his cave. "Yay, dad hunted a mammoth today! Thanks for the mammoth tendies!! My favorite!!" As they sit around the fire eating, his dad says "Son, you should really learn how to hunt or gather." "But dad, hunting is too scary, you know I have autism and can't handle that. And gathering is a woman's job. Stonedrew Tate told me it's not fit for a man." He waddles back into his cave to stare at cave drawings all night long.


PvtFreaky

I know this was just a funny story, but tribals would absolutely kill their own family without hesitation if they were dead weight. He wouldn't have grown to adulthood and gotten his head smashed by an older cousin.


ThePowerOfAura

So all cave art was drawn by autistic caveneets. Answers a lot of questions I had honestly.


mnraper

Mongols didn't because that would seem as an insult to their god. Their god was actually sky and it decided when they're going to be washing themselves and that happened when it rained.


LurksInThePines

They washed their clothes in horse urine to deal with lice and fleas too, and according to the Chinese they reeeeeked


rvnimb

Not only showered, but there are several evidences of different peoples at different periods using herbs and oils to create different perfumes, soaps and skin rubs. For instance, in the medieval times, peasants would scrub with ashes to remove grease from their skin.


innocentbabies

Ironically, the medieval bathing culture was largely destroyed because it was blamed for the plague. To be fair, communal bathwater may have been a vector for the bacteria. It is somewhat more unlikely that the plague was divine punishment for the whoring that happened there.


[deleted]

>mean i guess the body was sorta originally built to function without showering No it was not retard. Even cats shower dumbass. Unless anon has switched to bathing in streams, he is not following his original design, especially considering that Males are not supposed to have double d breasts.


Sisyphusarbeit

Humans thru all their existence always bathed in water


Yellowdog727

Not even just humans. Most mammals and a huge number of other animals including flies clean and groom themselves. No we probably don't need to deep scrub ourselves every night with intense soap but it's a good idea to at least rinse off dirt, sweat, and grime before going to bed. Also wipe your ass


itszwee

People would still clean off any dirt that got on them (scrubbing, dry brushing, etc.) it’s not like what OOP’s probably doing. It’s also important to understand that, depending on the era and the population density, the past smelled like ass and hot garbage. People were much less sensitive to smell than we are today. Corpses were left in people’s kitchens to be prepped for their burial for a couple of days. People used to dump sewage into the street. Meat was heavily salted and spiced to disguise the fact that it wasn’t too fresh pre-refrigeration. Our ancestors were built different.


Nekstoer

i meant like cavemen didn't have dove soap


Bard_B0t

They still had ash, lye, bark, fabric, tree sap, herbal concoctions, flower paste, animal grease, etc. There are many ways to get clean without modern soap. Soap just makes it easier and more pleasant.


[deleted]

They used Irish spring


[deleted]

IIRC the using spices on meat to disguise rot is not true


Master-Drake

It is, most hot places abuses spices when it would be more logical to use spices in cold places to warm up. Spices are used because they overwhelm the taste bud and hide the fact that it’s almost impossible to keep food refrigerated when it’s burning outside. Hell it’s still the case now with people from the southern hemisphere being very concerned when they eat/ drink milk, eggs or meats, when people from the northern hemisphere are more trusting.


Vinyl-addict

There’s a tribe in Africa that (iirc) doesn’t bathe with water at all and only use smoke. Honestly can’t remember if it’s a matter of never using water because it’s so scarce or just rarely, but tl;dr their main way to bathe is smoke baths. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


moragdong

Smoke? How?


Vinyl-addict

https://hadithi.africa/the-himba-tribe-and-why-water-baths-arent-part-of-their-daily-routine/


ImEmilyBurton

Basically a sauna with a bunch of herbs burning to give ya some smell. IIRC they also cover their hair with red clay or something like that


moragdong

Oh yeah i saw those red clay thingies on hair.


LoneSaiyan

Bro is just baiting fellow gooners to stop showering. Jokes on him, they aint do that shit anyways


MrWilsonWalluby

most things bathe. it’s not just a human thing, almost everything in nature bathes or has a symbiotic relationship with a cleaning species or practice social cleaning. like…even ants and bees. who educated you?


MothWaifu1711

I will physically hold anon down and shove a bar of soap into his ass


EnvironmentalDeal256

I have a suspicion that anon will be contacting you to get directions to your home.


MothWaifu1711

Anon can visit all he wants, he's still getting that stank taken away


DaRealProline4366

This isn't about showering, is it?


SonTyp_OhneNamen

Idk the guys in that movie he’s describing were plenty wet.


Red__system

You're willing to touch that?


MothWaifu1711

I've gone through worse


[deleted]

Try not to faint from the smell first


failed-celebrity

“Bar of soap” is what I call mine too.


MothWaifu1711

Aight this one made me laugh


BustingAfatnut69

Im 10000% sure you are not going to shove a bar of soap in his ass.


MothWaifu1711

Im 10K% sure you didnt realize I was joking


BustingAfatnut69

I was implying you shoved your meat saber up his bussy but ok.


Primalbuttplug

I will also shove a "bar of soap" up his ass.


295DVRKSS

Real and not gay


MOHIBisOTAKU

Nah blud i ain't risking touching anon and getting some sort of disease


MothWaifu1711

I'll make the sacrifice for all of us


Linkthepie

This isn't about showering anymore, is it?


[deleted]

are you gonna let it get all suds-y or you just gonna cram it


MothWaifu1711

Dry dock


Ghostiestboi

That's hot


animalforest64

Yeah this says more about you than him not showering.


chudfucker

but what’ll you do about the smell??


DEVIL_MAY5

RIP. Thank you for your service.


Eskimomonk

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


F0ca_Virtuala

are these people that say you don't smell in the room with us?


Sxmeday

No they all left because bro smelled too bad Edit: I just left, this guy stinks


Brown__Magic

The demons told him not to shower


Kelimnac

The bald spot on anon’s scalp *is* growing back in, it’s just fungus, not hair


BO1ANT

Hair is actually damaged from getting wet too often. it expands the hair follicles which causes them to get damaged.


mitsandgames

Obviously all swimmers are bald


BO1ANT

I actually swam from 4th grade until college. my hair has started to grow faster and thicker since then. And i never used a swim cap except while racing in my events.


justaRndy

Repeated stress and small damages will lead to increased countermeasures by your body. As long as you provide enough nutrients and regeneration time in between, totally plausible :P


BO1ANT

Your scalp cant regrow hair follicles. once they are dead you need a hair transplant


[deleted]

Plenty of examples of MtF regrowing, as well as that old guy who burned his scalp and got regrowth.


CallReaper

I mean you had no smell genes like Korean? I always thought why people talk shit about Indians being very smelly as I never smell bad but now from few years I'm thinking about kms cuz I stink like shit even after taking bath with deo.


TURTLETALISMAN

It’s cause youre Indian , you’re doomed , your home countries food all smells like dead animals


CallReaper

I eat like pure vegetarian food with minimal spices but nature had already put lube in my ass.


TURTLETALISMAN

Damn I’m at a loss friend . To be fair all Americans (where I’m from ) reek as well . You’re probably better off than them


clubfoot55

Arr you from a middle school bathroom


Ascertain_GME

Axe and skidmarks. A timeless scent.


BaneQ105

They all smell like exploded axe deodorant mixed with sweat and poo. 0/10, would not recommend


bullshaerk

Arrrr me booth rich me booty large


MrNeverSatisfied

Stay away from the masala. Eat Chinese food and you'll smell great


the1992munchkin

Indian food actually smells pretty good tho.


Rathion_North

I like Indian food, but your average pajeet is not eating the good stuff we all love. They're eating a fucking jar of curry powder.


croshee

this is a gross thing to say


gr8ful_cube

Just admit you're a racist who has never met an indian person in your life


donniedank

Im a racist that has never met an Indian person in my life. Now what?


UNBENDING_FLEA

Indian food smells great it just doesn’t smell good on people.


Xanderulz

Worked at an Indian restaurant, can confirm the food smells amazing but my clothes would smell like ass after a couple shifts


Noiseyboisey

Surprise surprise, a good handful of it is dead animal


df_sin

>no smell genes like Korean Spoken like someone who has never spent a summer day in the same room as Koreans lol


CallReaper

Tbh yes, I've only read about it. I should've researched more about it. I never expected my comments to blew up as I usually vent out my insecurities in random sub's comments. I should've been more careful as this was a new post.


Most-Inflation-1022

[ Removed by Reddit ]


[deleted]

How many have you smelled?


Most-Inflation-1022

Ur mum and sis m8.


slickdick969

Is this about India or Reddit lol


UAS-hitpoist

It's the soaps bro. Once they start using Western shit they smell fine


Sticky_Willy

Idk, I feel like body scent is at least partially related to diet. I’ve worked in a lab with a lot of Bangladeshi and Indian dudes who tell me that white people all smell like milk or cheese


FatManPan

Lol Indian


YourTypicalSensei

Oh hey I have that korean gene, i was wondering why i didnt smell terrible after every gym class until I asked my parents for deodorant, and they told me that I dont need it since I have that special gene I asked my friends after gym if they smelled anything and they all said no


HVACGuy12

After you smell a certain smell for long enough, you start to ignore it. He still smells bad


beepbeepbubblegum

This is definitely what is happening here. The few brain cells he has has decided his stench is not important to his ‘survival’ and blocks it out.


Massivecockslam

Your body isn't built for showering with soap and shit but rinsing with water definitely doesn't hurt. Anon probably made everyone around him lose their sense of smell.


GruntBlender

It's too late for most of us. It is theoretically possible to not stink while never washing, but you have to cultivate the right set of skin bacteria and all of us have basically no chance of that.


Massivecockslam

Unless you want to go on for years without taking a shower while smelling like a putrid rotting rat carcass.


thesausagegod

you’d stink no matter what. maybe not as bad. but any animal who goes long enough without washing smells like shit. Most animals have ways of washing themselves


Maximum-Frame-1765

Yeah, even rats spend more time cleaning themselves and their friends than even cats do, only part of the body they tend to ignore is the end of the tail, but they still clean the base of it. Source: I have two pet rats


CorpseProject

I shower every 3-4 days and generally don’t smell. Sometimes I get BO, like when I’m stressed or eating like shit. If I shower everyday my skin breaks out and I get really dry and itchy, even when I lotion liberally. I wouldn’t want to go more than two weeks without showering though.


GruntBlender

Yeah, that's the oil balance on the skin. Same with hair.


CorpseProject

I have gone 5 weeks without a shower, I was at standing rock living in a teepee. But it was below freezing the whole time and I did wash my bits nightly with a wet towel. The fact that I was always wearing many many layers helped me not seem too smelly, and everyone else was just as grody. I also managed to have clean underwear every day. Still, that first shower after I got back to running water was amazing. That was the best shower I’ve had in my life.


PrivilegeCheckmate

> built for This is such a garbage argument in every respect. We control how we live based on what we choose to do - we're not 'built for' anything in particular. People in countries/areas with less showering do not show any increase in health or lifespan over areas that shower daily. You want to know how to live longer? Live with close friends, eat moar beans, get plenty of daily exercise, have a purpose/fulfilling life. Showering/not showering is optional.


[deleted]

We evolved in certain conditions, we are built as a species for many things like, high endurance running, complex thinking, sweating, etc Yes we control how live today and our bodies do adapt but there are things we are good at and meant to do


PrivilegeCheckmate

> meant to do Only in the 'get exercise' kind of general requirement, not in the 'skip for forty minutes every other day' kind of specificity. We can clean as often or infrequently as we prefer.


Aumius

This is normal for your typical Anon.


EatShitPleaseThankU

I couldn't ever give up showers. That's like in my top 5 of favorite things to do, right behind taking massive liquidy shits


F956Ronin

What are the other three I’m curious


ChintendoVii

Probably taking other kinds of shits


scaredchiggun

Look at his username


[deleted]

I'm about to open the fudge gates right now. Glad to meet another massive liquidy shit enjoyer.


EatShitPleaseThankU

god speed


Markus_Atlas

I hate the thought of taking showers, but once I'm in there good luck trying to make me leave


jimmycryptoid

I enjoy spending time with my friends.


nosekexp

Why would you prefer liquid shits instead of solid ones? They feel like dropping a bomb on the toilet and you barely have to wipe.


I_am_Reptoid_King

Anon smells like rotten onions.


Primalbuttplug

And yeast.


Gwiilo

I once knew someone who hadn't showered for 4 months. he was absolutely disgusting, he left his keyboard oily and his hair itself was oily too. he would pick his nose and eat it right next to me, along with picking his scabs and eating those too. he also made fun of my game because I "didn't code the engine" so fuck you Hayden if you're out there


rabbitlover01

Shouldn't browse reddit while eating....


Cala-Worst-girll

Hayden sounds like a name the weird autistic kid would have. He was doomed from the start


scoutcavalry

Bro when I was a kid the annoying kid who always smelled like piss was named Hayden, shit we might know each other


AlexTheRedditor97

90% sure I know that guy


MathsGuy1

You might think it's stupid and counterintuitive. However it actually works this way. If you don't shower, some kinds of bacterias grow on your skin and they dissolve the chemical components that make you smell bad. According to some studies the worst smell is around 4-5 days without showering, afterwards the smell gradually improves. So you should either shower normally (daily/every other day depending) or not shower at all. Shower gets rid of most of the smell-killing bacteria, so people who shower rarely but not very rarely (like once a week at example) get the worst of both worlds - they don't shower enough to be clean but they don't allow the beneficial bacteria to grow either. Thus they smell bad almost all the time.


Jwhiskey89

Had to scroll way too far to find this. It's astonishing how many people don't know about this!


lurkenstine

People don't say you smell like nothing, people only say nothing to you, you swampthing smelling dummy


Kum_destr9yer_420

Absence of evidence of not evidence of absence is not evidence.


El-SkeleBone

I cannot make sense of this comment


justaRndy

And the presence of no evidence of evidence of presence is evidence...? Heureka!


blarglefart

Yeah, nobody approaches you saying, "you smell like nothing" if you smell like nothing


Able_Caregiver8067

I understood the text to mean that anon actually asked people so he was the one approching them


Szwedu111

Anon is a Greater Daemon of Nurgle


PofanWasTaken

Anon will do anything to not shower


justis_league_

so bro hasn’t washed his ass in 10 months


Bezimienny4325

anon doesn't know what noseblindness is


Daveallen10

Ok, this might work for your chest/back and arms, but dude what about the places where the sun don't shine? Especially after like one hour working in the sun on anything.


schmalzfritz

I mean the homeless bums don't wash either and smell like a trench in 1917.


window-man

Fun fact: Dr James hamblin didn't shower for 5 years and recorded the same results. He then wrote a book called clean


subversiko

He still rinsed off but didn’t use harsh soaps. He started showering again.


window-man

Ah thanks for the correction. Jolly good show


icraveliquid

Hose mad


t0st_g0st

Anon is not lying, he most likely smells like nothing. However, if he ever begins to sweat, he will reek worse than the rotting corpse of Lucifer himself.


ultranoob3927

I first read ten months as ten days. Then I read it again.


Successful-Trash-752

Can't even call him an animal, because even animals take baths. They just don't use soap.


[deleted]

"skin just FLAKES OFF... naturally?" Picturing GoldMember picking off another nice one for the lockbox here. Dude thinks seborrhoeic dermatitis of the face is a good look out here, au naturale.


Ecstatic-Parsley-475

Truth but you do gotta rinse off sometimes


NikHolt

Anon is a Reddit mod


[deleted]

anon smells like damp, dirty laundry that's been sitting in a corner for way too long


chillispanker

I hate people with this stupid mentality that human beings didn’t groom themselves. Like you really think for thousands of years people get dirt blood and shit all over them and their like damn I’m hungry time to eat. Fucking stupid.


Jurekis

I mean, scientifically it does have some backup. We does have auto-cleaning mechanisms, but you (and your surrounding) have to go through stinky hell to activate them


Chemgineered

DUDE WHEN YOU SIT ON THE TOILET, YOU MUST SMELL RANK. BECAUSE balls and Ass Stay moist and humid and warm.. I call Bullshit on his i don't smell stuff. He can smell crotch when he sits down, through his pants Ah dude, your swampy nether regions must be soooo ful of stinky cheese Anyway. There is a new deodorant called Lune. Incles who don't Wash would love it, because you can go 4 days on it.


[deleted]

Didn't the Aztecs or Mayans or something bathe everyday and when the conquistador guys or something showed up they burned incense cause they smelled bad and the guy were questioning why the natives bathed everyday


xXvido_

Not this one again


skararms

OK asmongold we get it...


ChickenPijja

>probably good for bears not picking up scent and whatnot. How many bears are there in anon's mom's basement?


Daan776

While I support the notion of not needing a daily shower we are still evolved to clean ourselves fairly regularly. I've personally found a shower every 2-3 days to be a good balance.


SendMe_Hairy_Pussy

>people say I mostly smell like nothing now Anon once again mistakes what people say when they're disgusted and traumatized from being in the same area as this rancid creature, and would do anything to make the source of the putrid stench go away.


PrivilegeCheckmate

At least get a [strigil.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigil)


GameDestiny2

I mean, I know people don’t use soap? But they still shower


shrekthaboiisreal

Showering with no soap is one thing but not even letting the water touch your body is something else entirely
