"People who smoke cigarettes, they say:

"You don't know how hard it is to quit smoking."

Yes, I do. It's as hard as it is to start flossing." - Mitch Hedberg

I don't get how is it that brushing is normal for everyone but somehow flossing seems to be an impossible task. It literally takes even less time. It's so quick and simple that it just seems dumb not do it. Well, to me at least. Clearly that's not a very popular opinion.

Requires actual effort to floss right. Requires 0.1 effort to hold the vibratey brush to my teeth for two minutes

Invention question: would anyone here be willing to wear a ~perhaps frightening~ helmet that just does all the head hygiene stuff automatically?

I speed up shaving by covering the inside of a hockey mask with razor blades and then nod

At that point just get your teeth removed and buy dentures.

Dentures take more upkeep than real teeth, shit's fucked

Let me introduce you to my friend depression. It makes self care way more difficult :)

Unfortunately neglecting self care makes the depression worse, which makes it harder to do self care.
