Related story:

A few months ago, we were at a supermarket with my mom, buying some stuff.

My mom needed an antiperspirant. When she was about to grab a black one, I heard a guy "helpfully" telling her that she was grabbing one "For Men™", that the ones "For Women™" were the pink ones.

I immediately looked at the guy like "lol what, who asked".

(My mom uses "men's" antiperspirants because she doesn't care about that, and they are usually cheaper than "women's")

I'm a man and my deodorants are either lemon or sage.

Just stop buying shit.

I mean, I love lemon, but I wouldn't rub one on my armpits...

I washed my balls in 24% acetic acid once.

They did get clean, can't argue with the results, but just letting you all know not to do that.

TIL to avoid washing my balls with concentrated vinegar.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

It seemed like a reasonable thing to do at the time.

Wasn't really planning on it, but thanks for the heads up.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

You're welcome!

My deodorant is called "pungent sweat".

Just stop buying shit.

I'm a roasted chicken cooking in the sun and my deodorants are either olive oil or a sweet kiss from Nonna.

Just stop buying shit. Also, if you didn't grow those lemons and sage yourself, you're part of the problem because you also could stop buying shit.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Are you growing those olives and producing the olive oil or...

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

yes, my Nonna actually gave me an olive oil gland so I could squeeze out my own

Lemon is an excellent body smell. Sage is toxic to dogs and perhaps cats fyi.
