I get it, personal hygiene isn’t always a big priority for us nerdy types. But it’s reaaaally not hard to do the bare minimum to keep from stinking, guys. Have some consideration for others when emerging from your cave.

Plenty of people don’t start to smell bad 24h after a shower, with or without deodorant. In winter, I’d guess it’s actually most people.
I try to shower as infrequently as I can without stinking because it fucks up my skin every single time.

Body moisturizer after shower is a game changer. I wish I’d known about it sooner.

LMAO.
And plenty of people do start smelling bad 24 hours after not showering with or without deodorant. Out is actually most people…
greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours ago
Idk, humans have lots of different smells and some are more tolerable than others. Like if you don’t sweat much (not me unfortunately) you can definitely go a day without showering. The worst human smell might be a rotting tooth though, that’s really difficult to be around.
FishFace@piefed.social 10 hours ago
I’m sure plenty of people do, maybe you’re even one of them, but turning this into blanket statements is weird and annoying. How many people think, because of the culture embodied in this sign, that they must shower every day, and never even check?
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
So that’s why they have those 48 hour protection deodorants, it’s for the Magic players!
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
To add: It’s a good idea to occasionally check with someone else how you smell, because we notice our own smell less than others.
BanMe@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Yep. I developed eczema and soap/chemicals are not my friend, I will forgo deodorant in the winter and use it lightly during the summer - you’d be surprised how little you really need - but I am checking with people about it regularly. I had a friend tell me I smelled like “outside” which made me realize the crystal deodorant wasn’t working right.
FishFace@piefed.social 6 hours ago
Yeah, my partner can be trusted to advise me of the situation lol

You probably smell really bad. Olfactory fatigue might make you think otherwise. Just shower and moisturize. Find skin friendly soap.
FishFace@piefed.social 3 hours ago
I use the skin friendliest soap I know of, and can smell when I need a shower, and have trusted other people who validate my own sense. Olfactory fatigue makes no sense unless you shower really infrequently.
Thanks for your fake, ill-informed concern though. Sucks that on Lemmy people are so closed minded they can’t understand that people sweat less than they do.

Could you go into detail? Is it the soap, or the water that fucks up your skin? And how does it get “fucked up”?
FishFace@piefed.social 4 hours ago
I don’t want to go into too much detail about medical stuff in public but I don’t believe it is about soap alone because it also affects skin that i don’t soap up in the shower.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
You probably need to find a good moisturizer and leave it on for a while in the shower.

Are you, by any chance, showering with hot water? It’s said that warmer/hotter water dries out the skin more.
FishFace@piefed.social 10 hours ago
Well I’m certainly not taking a cold shower in winter! I don’t have a thermostatic shower tap so don’t know what temperature it is, but I guess I have it at about body temperature… Not sure if that is as hot as you mean.

When you go to cons you always see these guys who are clearly spending mad cash, but they’re in a ratty t shirt and sweat pants, and they smell like unwashed ass covered in baby powder. You can play magic for 10 hours but you can’t go take a 15 minute shower???

In the mid 90’s I was with a group of union apprentices attending the mandatory four week training at our headquarters in the Midwest. They put us up at a decent hotel in the downtown area. During our stay one year they had some kind of magic/fantasy con. Many of these people were foul smelling. They were not used to being told they couldn’t enter the elevator without getting fucked up. Some of my fellow apprentices were how shall we say it. Impulsively violent toward people who smelled like unwashed ass. After all nearly everyone of us would shower once or twice daily due to the job. The con attendees quickly learned how to use the back elevator away from our floor.
It was really kinda sad but the Navy also had a floor for their recruits to stay at while they were being processed in. Many were young women all of legal age with the navy personnel trying but not always succeeding in keeping those ladies away from forty or so young construction workers. One of their main tactics was to encourage the navy recruits to use the back elevator. In forcing those unwashed losers to the back we inflicted them on those recruits.

From my reading of social media there are two kinds of neurodivergents: 1) hates showing, most unpleasant experience, sensory overload 2) loves showing, could live in the shower, sometimes exits the shower and realises that they forgot to wash their hair or soap up or something. Only misses their daily shower when they are very busy and can’t find an hour in their schedules.
You may be a neurotypical if you:
- shower each day
- complete your shower in less than 10 minutes
- don’t forget any of the 1-3 things you are supposed to do in the shower
- have no strong feelings about showering
Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 16 minutes ago
This is way too general. Like I get its a joke, but I don’t think anyone showers super quickly unless they are time pressed

I’ve been known to shower until the hot water runs out. I’ve been known to fall asleep in the shower. I love showers.
BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
Sleeping in the shower! Do you then wake up when you start gurgling?
If you want a good night’s sleep in the shower then get one of those continuous water heaters, or a recirculation shower to save on the water and energy.

fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago
I shower in less than 10:
- Heat water while I undress
- Change water to cold, wet my hair only (dyed hair is a pain, god bless it’s short)
- Shampoo hair, Clear, apply conditioner
- Change water to hot again, wet rest of body
- Stop water, apply gel in body
- Hot water, rinse body
- Cold water, rinse head
- Get out.
That’s like 8 mins, maybe 9 because I spend 2 with my hair, maybe 10 because I spend 2 mins wetting my body to heat it up.
Ofc, if I’m feeling cold I end up spending way longer in the wet body phase.

Nah cause I’m both of those. I want nothing to do with a shower until I get in and then I’ll stay there until I run through 50 gallons of near boiling water. And then as the water starts turning cold I realize I haven’t even washed yet.

What’s wrong with not wearing deodorant? That shit has a ton of aluminum and other garbage in it. It ruins your clothes. You just need to wash and change your clothes regularly.
ieGod@lemmy.zip 3 hours ago
Antiperspirants contain aluminum, not deodorants.
blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 9 hours ago
The aluminium salts are the effective ingredient that stops us from sweating. Products that contain aluminium salts are called anti-transpirants because of that.
There is also no reason to call them garbage, because besides of being effective against sweat, they don’t harm us. That was a myth, disproven for years now.
dublet@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
rehydrate5503@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
The BO AOE cloud that follows not wearing deodorant is what’s wrong with not wearing it.
Lots of them do have aluminum, but more and more brands now have new formulations without it. Most of the mainstream ones in my area have variants. There are also more natural ones available like Dr. Squatch, but I haven’t had good luck with it (melted during summer, but was effective).
As far as ruining your clothes, do you mean staining the armpit area? I’ve only had that happen to a couple of tshirts years ago with Axe deodorant sticks.

DNS@discuss.online 5 hours ago
Some LCS’s (local card shops) are more Magic focused, some are more Pokémon focused, as well as Yugioh focused. They’ll still sell other product, but most likely have a core group of players who show up to play one type of game.
The LCS I used to go to sold everything, but it was largely known to be the spot to play MTG/have tournaments consistently versus their Pokémon days.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 hours ago
The one in my city is really small and fun. Whenever you go in to buy a few cards there’s always a more autistic than me kid asking me if I know this card, if not, they’ll explain, and it goes on for 45min and you can’t get away. Or the owner is there and starts to complain about the economy, his autie customers not working, about politics, about how it used to be better back then, his experience in prison (ehm ok) etc. Again, can’t leave for at least 45min. Few years ago I came there with my partner, she needed a few lands. A hoard of people came onto us. “Ooh, a girl playing magic!” We stayed there for 2 hours as we couldn’t end the conversations even though we tried many times lol.
I love it so much, places like these are super rare and awesome which should never stop to exist. Support your local game stores! Whether it’s trading cards, miniature war gaming or regular boardgames.
