people say I smell like nothing now
probably because it’s instantly destroying any scent receptors permanently

Kinda like H2S, I guess. You can sense its putrid smell it in the range of 0.47 ppb to 100 ppm, then your olfactory nerve becomes paralyzed. Just when you think the gas is gone, there’s a 50% chance of you dying at 800 ppm. Years ago, I read about a “mysterious deaths” case in which H2S was the main suspect because of this stealthy property.

As someone who doesn’t use shampoo and has hair which has re-adapted to not having the natural oils stripped out, and doesn’t use soap for the same reason, I am confident to say:
**Showers are a good thing. **
Just don’t blast your skin with steaming hot water and your skins microbiome and keratin glands will adapt. Being “100% clean” will lead to sweat which stinks because of the resistant bacteria which flourishes and produces bad odour after consuming your sweat.
Sweat itself doesn’t have a smell, it’s why you don’t stink the moment you start sweating.

You will not take away my hot showers liberals, grrr
Zozano@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Hot showers are bourgeoisie propaganda, designed to keep the working class in a perpetual cycle of stank.
Think about it, the sales of hygiene products fuel our economies, they have us played for absolute fools.
Our hot showers come at the cost of energy, normally coal, which makes climate change worse, making us hotter, and more sweaty, leading to more hot showers.
Ten thousand years ago, our ancestors had no class divide, no climate change, and no hot showers.
Surely you see now that our only option is to rise up,l together, say “fuck this shit” and kill billionaires and stop taking hot showers.
And if you keep taking hot showers then you’re enabling the fascist techno crypto oligarchy patriarchy.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a lukewarm shower to attend.

That’s very likely not a thing. The natural oil production (sebum) is primarily influenced by genetics and hormones.
Some people experience less oiliness over time, but this is likely due to changes in distribution, absorption, and perception, rather than a true shift in sebum gland function.
Frequent washing with harsh shampoos can temporarily increase oiliness due to compensatory production.
However, studies suggest this is a short-term effect rather than a long-term change in sebum gland activity.
** Showers are a good thing. **
Absolutely, using shampoo or not, proper scalp hygiene is important, too much sebum creates bacteria friendly environments, which can lead to infections.

As you said, the increase in oiliness is compounded upon daily use of shampoo. Using it frequently will eventually strip all of the oils out (if you’ve got long hair - People with shorter hair shouldn’t have an issue).
There are certainly times where I use it, but it’s very rare, it normally fucks my shit up for a good week.

You may not smell bad immediately after going to the gym, but if you leave your sweaty gym clothes in the bag to ferment overnight, they’re gonna smell like a dehydrated cat pissed in your bag.

Different people have different skin, oils, water supplies and diets.
Everyone needs to clean themselves regularly, but the exact details of what that means varies by circumstances.
Most people are fine with shampoo, a gentle soap, and warm water.
As long as you’re getting rid of old dead skin, excess oils and any grime you’re fine though. Soaps make that easier, but they’re not a requirement.
I’m prone to dry skin and greasy hair, so I use a shampoo, cool water and a scrub brush instead of soap for my body. Perfectly clean, just need to scrub a little longer to make sure I get everything.Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago

It’s a metaphor for the diabolical nonsense people constantly post on 4chan. Anon is either deluded (less likely) or attempting to lure others into unhealthy lifestyle decisions for fun. The main character is a robot, a la r9k, and the only ones cheering are other odd misfits. The women are, on the other hand, human shaped, once again reinforcing the gulf in humanity between the members of the board and those outside of it. Much of 4chan is poopie rapie.
With that said, yes, absolutely, I agree

It’s possible that some of the benefits are real, but it’s probably because the lack of hot showers. If you used room temperature water instead of hot it’s supposedly better for your skin, but I never do it because I like a hot comfy shower

My brother said something similar “I never shampoo and my hair doesn’t stink”.
My wife and I informed him that his hair stank, and that we had to launder the pillowcase immediately after he stayed over because it stank up the room and adjacent hallway the day after.
OP got used to his BO, I promise you the people around him know he does not use soap.

I have also not shampooed my hair for an extended period, and you do have to rinse it when you shower. I would put soap on the ends every so often and I had to rinse it with baking soda a few times to remove cooking odors (onions mostly).
No one ever complained about a smell, but people tend not to say things like that.
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
You don’t need to shampoo your hair of course. Nature never provided us with a shampoo but you’ll have nicer hair if you do.
It’s the same for bathing obviously you don’t have to do it, in the past everyone just spelled really bad. Not bathing isn’t some magical cure for warts, and it absolutely is necessary for common decency’s sake.
sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Technically (🤓), you don’t have to wash your hair because it’s dead. The scalp is where the sweat, oils, and skin cells build up and where the bad odours would be coming from. And most people on average aren’t really close enough to someone (especially a tall someone) to smell their scalp.
Personally, I tried the whole no shampoo thing, and it was agony. The roots of my hair hurt from the build-up if I don’t wash them once week, only rinsing with water does nothing. Human bodies are weird.
