UNLESS you work a blue collar job, or any other job that requires you to be outside the whole time, I don’t see the point in showering every day. Especially if you work from home or in a building with AC. It seems excessive and is also a waste of water. But do what you want lmao.

My daughter is 18 and doesn’t need to shower every day. She has no discernable body odour that I know of and she hardly sweats.

I’ll be smelly by 4pm having had a shower at 7am. Deodorant can only do so much. I work from home at a desk.

Everyone is different.

Washing your hair every day is excessive, but showering? Dunno about you but I exercise daily and I take a shower after because I am sweaty.

Speak for yourself. I shower every morning just to get my hairstyle back. I always look like I’ve been zapped with 10.000 Volts when I wake up and nothing else aside from warm water and shampoo helps. And I don’t even have long hair.

I forgot about exercising, that would also make sense.

I’d say that fits the “unless” (OP should’ve included exercise).

This is exactly the problem. 99% of the time you can’t smell your own funk.

Nope. Live in a place where being outside for 10 minutes results in swamp ass. Exercise everyday, even indoors.

Well you exercise everyday, so the outside part doesn’t really matter for that scenario. You’d take a shower from sweating from exercise

And I think that’s the point. We all assume everyone else will shower if they do something that makes them sweaty. If not. That’s where the problem arise imo

Unpopular Opinion

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
