Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

If you stink, shower more often. It works.

Showering too often can also cause issues with smell.

How often do you consider too often?

I'll risk the average person showers once day.

Anything more than twice a day, but for me twice a day dries out my skin enough that it overproduces oil which makes me smell funky sooner.

I take a shower twice a day more often than I would like. Sometimes, even three or four times.

The type of soap used also plays a part, along with water temperature and duration.

Four five minutes showers, just to spray the body with water and wash with a mild soap, good.

Four fifteen minutes showers, with at nearly boiling point water, with hard soap, peels anything from your skin. Including your skin.
