Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This aligns with what I've always been told. The mechanical action of thoroughly washing your hands for 20 seconds + the surfactant in the soap is enough to allow the subsequent rinse and dry to physically remove shit from your hands.
Same with your pits and junk. Just a normal bar of unscented soap is all you need to not be stinky and prevent bacterial growth particularly during the summer. Unless you have special needs based on skin conditions or gland conditions of course.
but i like smelling like pineapples and coconuts
That's something a lot of people seem to miss.
Do I need Ritual of Oudh body scrub after my Summer Rain shower gel and afterwards before going out some Serendipity parfume? Fuck No! Does it help me feel good and I frankly got enough negativity in my life already and need some positive feelings? Yeah!
Better than beef and cheese.
I will never get rid of my beef and cheese ~~flavored~~ scented soap!
Hey, if it works for you.
i believe that is why people invented perfume several hundreds of years ago, and coconut can be achieved by simply getting some cocoa butter and using it as skin lotion.
hair too, most people most of the time will do just fine with a simple bar of soap in the shower, all shampoo does is detonate a nuclear bomb on your scalp so you then have to put oil back with conditioner, it's the textbook definition of making you dependent on a product.
you only need shampoo if you have some specific scalp condition or you decided to rub shit on your head, otherwise soap is absolutely fine and frankly you'll probably do fine with just water and rubbing yourself down thoroughly.
