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. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


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/

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.

OP, you probably stink. You might not care but I'm sure the people around you do.

This seems unnecessarily rude without engaging with what OP said. They're basically asking why 24 hours is a magical shower number? Why not 20, or 12? What about 28, or 36?

Not everyone on the planet has the exact same body, so why would going any longer than 24 mean OP probably stinks?

yeah, what if op has an abcc11 gene malfunction?

Been doing this for twenty years, not one complaint

You do you. I work with a guy that doesn't think he stinks too. He does.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

and has anyone informed him of that? it's a bit wild to sit there thinking he's weird and then not doing anything to rectify the situation

Yes, a coworker that wasn't afraid of HR told him he has a little funk going on and might want to shower more often. He laughed it off and said he doesn't smell bad. Now when he's particularly ripe, he hoses himself down in some flowery body spray that I would say is worse than his funk since it's like the old ladies that use enough perfume for two months on a single outing.
