This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

huh i thought they were:

  1. be a nice person
  2. take showers
[–] bss03@infosec.pub 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Attempting to avoid triggering negative feelings (e.g. disgust) in the people around you is part of #1.

That generally requires #2, but might not depending other actions and niche situations.

You don't need to shower if you never leave home.

Many people share their home with others. They would still shower to the nice.

While a daily shower is overkill, and there are other ways to deal with it, most people need some sort of bathing routine as part of basic skin care: removing accumulated dust, dirt, sebum, sweat, etc. from the skin, particularly joints/folds/crevices.

in any tropical area, daily showers are a requirement. in colder places they might be overkill, but idk

You do if you don't want a skin condition
