OP

EDIT: Thanks for the perspectives everyone - l did not expect this to blow up and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the vastly different responses (thank you to those who treated my question as genuinely not stupid). I think my main takeaway is that while not everyone thinks not showering every day is objectively disgusting, I can be taking more steps to make absolutely sure I don't smell bad so I'm considerate of others. It was helpful for me to see all the factors people consider when making their showering decisions. Since the people in my life are eager to hug me, choose to sit close to me, select me for people-facing leadership roles, and are very honest in every other area of my life, I'm choosing to continue doing what's right for me and make more drastic changes if I see evidence otherwise.

I (F25) typically shower every 2-3 days. When I say I don't shower every day, I mean I do not step into a shower at all, not just skipping washing my hair. My curly hair doesn't really get greasy, but if it does, I hide it with different hairstyles and accessories. I don't sweat often, always wear a scented deodorant, and just work an office job with a few days remote.

A few days ago I saw a post absolutely blasting people who don't shower every single day, and many people even said they shower multiple times a day. The comment section was pretty unanimous and I'm feeling self conscious about this, especially because I've always had an almost nonexistent sense of smell. My boss also made a comment (EDIT: in a conversation completely unrelated to hygiene) assuming everyone showers every day and I lied and went along with it.

My ADHD brain can't fathom doing such a taxing routine every single day. I also hear that it's not great for your skin and hair to shower every day and the WHO doesn't even recommend showering every day. Are daily showers just a thing in the USA? Do I actually have poor hygiene and everyone just bears with me?


It depends on the person. If you have BO then you need to shower more. If not then it's fine

The tough part is that I can't tell. Anytime I ask my husband, who's probably nose blind to me, he just shrugs and says “you smell like you, and it isn't a bad smell.” Not very helpful lol.

Oh look, it's married to another :marseystinky:

I was told I smelled "unwashed" a few times at work, and the last time I was told that I said truthfully "but I showered 3 hours ago and put on clean clothes and deodorant"

It turns out it was my bed. I had been sleeping on a mattress that had no sheets for years. Just nasty sweaty unwashed mattress. Replaced the mattress, which was inexpensive because it was a hand-me-down from family, and kept clean sheets on it regularly. The "unwashed" smell went away immediately.

Just average redditor things.

How's you butt and junk? That kinda gets smelly pretty quickly….sitting in it all day long. Farting, wiping in a rush…more sitting…pubic hair gathering food crumbs…

i'm sorry.. food crumbs??

Yeah, food crumbs

my dude are you eating sandwiches in the nude or something?

:marseydisgust:

And many more such revolting stories of redditor hygiene throughout the comments.

Context: There are full fledged pokemon fangames and romhacks because Nintendo is lazy and shit. You can use a plugin for rpg creator to make any kind of pokemon fangame. Beekeeping game? All new region with a new story? Fakemon? Rogue-like? Auto-Chess? Yep all possible. Recently though someone made like the 7th Rogue-like and this one is REALLY good with a ton of features quickly becoming so popular that like now twice as many people know fangames exist at all.

Out of the blue he says Christ is calling him so he quits. The game is basically finished but now he won't add more features personally. Atheist cucks sneed in the comments.

Why are cats so fricking r-slurred?

My cat won't stop drinking from the potty, no matter what I do.

I previously got her this water fountain:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17158846446196096.webp

I got her that one like 2 or 3 months ago. I never saw her drink from it but I figured, maybe she's just drinking when I'm not around or I just haven't seen her yet. Today I discovered the stupid fricking r-slur pea brain drinking potty water again, which means she probably never fricking stopped.

I've now gone to amazon and bought her a twice as expensive water fountain (pic related) and will now keep the bathroom door shut at all times, in hopes that she stops doing that.

I hate her so much, why is she so fricking r-slurred, smh.

Circumcision. BAD! :marseysoyhype:

Circumcision is a cruel ritual, slicing through innocent flesh in the name of tradition, stealing away a part of the self that can never be reclaimed, a violation of the body's sacred integrity, leaving a mark of trauma and loss, echoing through the psyche, a permanent scar that whispers of forgotten pain, all for the sake of an outdated custom that defies the natural design, a needless assault on the very essence of human wholeness, perpetuated by societal norms that blind us too the true horror of the blade's intrusion, a barbaric act that must be cast aside for the sake of future generations' purity and peace.

We need a circumcision Marsey.

Cool dudes of drama.net: tell me what product, hobby or thing you totally soy out over?

I tend to think soy boys don't really feel that happy and are exaggerating mild happiness in order to mask their existential misery.

Like maybe there's been a few instances of moments of pure joy where the right photographer might have lucked out and caught me doing a soy gape, but the only occasions I can think of are moments where friends/family/pets have done something spontaneously funny. Never when <latest thing=""> has been announced. And certainly never while looking directly at the camera.</latest>

But scepticism aside, here's what gets me closest to soygaping:

Coffee

I am an unashamed coffee snob. I have a >£4,000 espresso setup including a La Mazzocco Linea Mini and a Eureka Atom grinder and I totally soy out over the process of making espresso and also pour over coffee.

This is one area where I frequently lie to my wife and connive to spend money without her knowing because she wouldn't understand if she knew the true cost of this hobby.

Me inside when my coffee arrives in the post:

Volvos

I love Volvos. I love seeing other people's Volvos. I like old Volvos and new Volvos. I've got a moose sticker on my Volvo.

I am looking forward to getting the new Volvo EX30 very soon, and hoping they release some electric wagons so I can continue my Volvo wagon habit into the future.

I just can't see myself ever buying any other manufacturer. They're not the fastest or the highest end, but man are they practical and well-designed.

Me when I'm driving my Volvo and I see another Volvo or I'm watching the early reviews of the new EX90:

Manly Scents

I've got an unopened bottle of Gaultier² which is my absolute favourite.

I want to clone myself and have s*x with myself every time I sniff myself. So hot.

They've relaunched it, but it apparently doesn't smell the same as the original so I'm saving it for a special occasion. Either that or selling it to some other nerd for £400+.

Burberry London is another favourite.

Not just sprays though. Anykind of manly shower gel or beard oil, etc. Even the rare manly scented candle just gets me soying out like:

How about you? What gets you soygaping, either literally or in your mind?
