One time I was helping a student lift a large object in the shop. He wore really baggy loose pants and when he bent over his pants fell down a bunch and his underwear stuck out and he had a massive skidmark in it like 6 inches long. I don't think I am unusually clean or anything but I do not have poo poo marks in my underwear, and I assumed that most people are the same way. I couldn't comprehend what sort of behavior you'd have to engage in to make a skidmark so bad that if it was obvious from ten feet away on the outside of the cloth.

Now I know!

My confession is I have very bad hygiene. 

I haven’t brushed my teeth in 3 days, which is the norm. I shower every other day. I also don’t do laundry unless there’s an obvious stain or odor, I prefer to febreze it and put it back in the drawer. 

I didn’t notice it was an issue until I was on a date and the guy just left after a few minutes. He told me I was nice but that I had an awful odor and that he couldn’t see things going further. 

That was back in February and I’ve tried to improve a bit since then. I used to be really bad about wiping my rear end correctly and would oftentimes have residue after making GBS threads. At the end of the day I’d have to forcibly spread my cheeks because the poop was like glue. I’m not that bad now, I wipe more than once since I realize the odor there is bad and it’s awful for my skin. 

I have also been sent home from work several times for my odor, despite being in IT and seeing almost nobody all day. I guess that’s how it’s gone on so long in the first place. 

I do want to fix this but my laziness makes it hard to change. I’m also a bit of a tomboy so things like perfume and fancy soaps are alien to me. 

Buy baby wipes and start using them after you wipe your rear end with dry toilet paper. Even if you don't want to take a shower use a wipe to get the important bits (armpits, crotch, and rear end.)

It's not a great solution, but you will be on your way to smelling nice.

I think smelly confessor is lying. I’m not claiming the confession is stdh.txt, I’m saying she’s deluded or lying about her personal hygiene. Specifically, showering every other day. Assuming she’s washing her whole body with soap every other day, and not just wetting her feet and calling it a shower, there’s no way she could stink enough to be sent home multiple times from a job that doesn’t put her in contact with other humans.

Body fluids, body functions, and body odors are a bit of a taboo in western society. Telling someone they stink can very quickly backfire and most people are loathe to do it even when it is blatant. Even when the entire office talks about it and agrees unanimously behind the stinker’s back, people will still try to shove the responsibility of breaking the news to the offending worker onto others. “You’ve known her longer than I have, I think she would take it better coming from you.”

To be told you stink, you have to really, really stink. Showering every other day just doesn’t cut it. Even adding the day-old poo poo smell to the day-old sweat smell, you would at most get people avoiding you. You could get ostracized, certainly, but people will make excuses for not having lunch with you, they won’t have your manager send you home.

Confessor, you are depressed. You have let yourself go. You are no longer taking care of your body and you haven’t for some time. Seek help.

Stench goon. Please loving shower. I work with a guy whom I suspect only showers once a week if that.
Mondays he's not so bad, but by Friday, its unbearable. I'll assume that he showers on Friday after work. Its worst in summer.

Being in the same truck with him is awful. If you work IT and hardly ever see people and they send you home because you smell bad, thats pretty much a sign you have a problem.

This is a good point. A PhD student I went to grad school with stunk up every room he walked into, and we knew it wasn't a gland thing or a health issue or whatever because on days when he was scheduled to go visit his long-distance girlfriend he would be mysteriously stench-free. He just didn't give a poo poo about hygiene if nobody around to smell him was willing to have sex with him. But nobody talked to him about it; all we did was make fun of him behind his back.

I worked with someone who showered maybe once a week and didnt use deoderant. It got so bad because he wore the same tshirt every day, to the point a female member of my office explained how hygiene laundry worked. It worked for maybe a month, but then he got lazy about it and bought 30 of the SAME t-shirt so he never had to do laundry except MAYBE once a month.

I bet she's one of those people who got into that "no shampoo" fad and rubs olive oil and whipped cream or whatever into her hair instead. I knew a couple girls who did that in college and they always looked/smelled like a greasy mess.

Either that or she just doesn't know how to clean herself in the shower. If you just stand under the water and don't do anything you'd get pretty smelly pretty fast.

Anyway I wish it was more acceptable/less awkward to tell people they smell like rear end. There's a guy I work with a lot and he looks clean, but just doesn't wear deoderant, ever. It shouldn't be a big incident to say "could you please wear deoderant" but people act like you just told them they are an awful worthless person and there's a non-zero chance they'll report you to HR for harassment.

In the 6th grade I read an article in Popular Science for Kids that basically said deodorant was actually not a great invention because if you apply it too regularly, your body will begin to overcompensate because you can’t smell yourself and your body overproduced hormones to compensate, thinking that the lack of feedback for its nose must be an issue.

As a result, I decided then and there that I just wouldn’t ever use deodorant. I shower every or nearly every other day, same with brushing my teeth, and at age 30 I can count on one hand the number of times someone has mentioned my body odor, and they have all been related to 3+ day festival camping trips where I probably just have super bad LSD-Sweats.

Think about it, if humans stank everywhere they went, we wouldn’t have evolved because we’d be so, so easy to hunt.

But for a grown woman to not grasp the complexity of “wipe ALL the poo poo out of your rear end” that just screams mental health issue. In classic Freudian literature, butt stuff is the hallmark of extreme control issues, it’s where we get anal-retentive and other terms like that. The wet wipes thing is huge and should clear up most of the work but really really ask yourself, “why do I want an itchy, infected rear end all day?”

Maybe you’d rather have some gross physical barrier so you don’t feel like your lonely because you have a bad personality

That's a kind of circular logic, no?

I remember an intern that stank of BO at the last place I worked. I used to dread it when she came in in the mornings, got to her desk next from mine and took off her jacket, I would have mere seconds before the noxious wave of BO would waft over to my personal space and make me retch. It's as bad as people who overdo it with perfume or aftershave - that point where you can loving taste the half gallon of Jean Paul Gaultier they've doused themselves in and somehow managed to stay away from naked flames to avoid turning into a human candle.

This reminds me! I had a frenemy in High school and around 16-17 he devolved a very particular odor. This dude just smelled like bleach. I mean it was bad, like I had to leave his house and come home once because I went over to his house to play sonic for gamecube and his room was so small and I felt like he was emitting this toxic bleach cloud.

I’ve experienced that same odor from other men at the gym or wrestling so I know it’s gotta be sweat related but it was honest-to-god the stench of strong bleach just emanating from this greasy dude. Has anyone ever experienced that or was I just having a nose stroke?

When you're smelling it in the gym, that ammonia smell is a result of the burning of muscle protein during intense workouts. Not sure why that would happen to somebody at rest though.

idk but I think we should make this thread about :biotruths: now

I mean, cats (according to wikipedia :randstare:) will clean our smell off of themselves immediately after being petted even though we smell clean and of soap; yet if you go in close to a cat, it stinks? So it's kind of relative. If we all lived together in a cave during the cold months and didn't have motivation to get out from under the furs and into a stream we'd all reek and not notice. Predators are used to smelling any prey though regardless of their grooming habits while they are usually considered some of the smellier animals themselves. Furthermore...

I had a former coworker and I was wondering if there's some medical condition where your sweat smells like stale urine. Like the smell you get with homeless people, but on a person who seemed to at least shower daily and was generally well groomed, he just sweat A LOT. Like walking to lunch 3 minutes away from the office, his head would be coated in sweat. Any longer amount of time and his back would start getting soaked too and that's when the piss smell really started.

Some people did ask him why he sweats so much and he just said some probably bullshit thing about how his body doesn't tolerate heat well. I mean I guess that's true, but there has to be some underlying medical reason why it happens and why it smells so bad compared to normal people sweat. I went to his house once and he keeps the temperature at like 62 degrees, which isn't normal and also probably extremely expensive.

Sweat doesn’t normally smell. There are bacteria living on your skin (and mine, I’m not singling you out) that feed on sweat. Their metabolic byproducts smell. So the smell we associate with sweat is actually old, degraded sweat. That’s why if you sniff yourself right after exercising you might think it’s not so bad, but three hours later you’re giving off a funk that will get you noticed anywhere. So, if your coworker has good hygiene but sweats more profusely than the average, poor dude is cursed to smelling bad halfway through the day.

Also 62 is either very, very cold if we’re talking Kelvin, or scalding hot if we’re talking Celsius, the only two units of temperature that actually matter.

Been a while since we had some good alien fic ITT

quote:

ET was a fictionalized version of something that happened to my grandfather in the 1960s.

He worked for the FBI and was assigned to “EBE”. EBE was an extraterrestrial biological entity that crashed in the New Mexico desert and was picked up by the US Government.

EBE lived for about 15 years and, in that time, shared information on technology, medicine, and space travel. My grandfather, along with several other scientists and engineers recorded everything. This lead to such advancements as WiFi, LEDs, DVDs, and the Cloud.

EBE’s race never came to pick him up, and it was theorized that he may have been an escaped prisoner or refugee from his planet. He refused to speak much of his people, only saying that they were different than him and hated anything that wasn’t purely logic driven.

My grandpa told this to me and my sister on our 12th birthday, and on our 18th birthday gave us proof - the journals he kept at the time. Detailed writings that mention things like DVDs way before they were in production.

The last piece of the story; one of those engineers went on to be a script consultant who worked with Steven Spielberg on ET and Close Encounters.

Those journals are currently in the hands of MUFON and are being verified. My grandfather died in October and his will stated that the story of EBE be told.

I hope that the story will come out for Christmas, as this was apparently EBE’s favorite holiday on Earth. I hope you’ll all learn more very soon.

If I could just do some unsolicited tech consulting here: all "the cloud" is is doing your computations on someone else's computer. It's actually a really simple idea and was inevitable with networks getting faster, and it would not require alien secrets.

Also if the government was keeping an alien visitor secret for decades they wouldn't just let somebody leave and make a movie about it :psyduck:

Anyway the next one should be a crowd-pleaser

quote:

I have a micro penis. It’s tiny - my pinky is significantly longer and even a bit girthier.

This has caused my absolutely no problems in life, once I got over the initial shame. I am married with 3 kids. I fingerblast my wife and get her off with foreplay every time. I know full well she can barely feel my penis in her but it feels good for me and she fakes an orgasm, which is enough to get me off.

I have to order special prescription condoms which look like a single pinky finger off a rubber glove, and they are expensive and awkward. But we are considering a vasectomy now anyway.

I joined a micro penis suppprt group in college which helped a lot, it showed me that more people have the condition than you’d expect. And that’s where my real confession comes in.

One of the men I met at a micro penis conference in Las Vegas (we booked the convention center as a “Medical supply Company meeting” to fend off any jokesters) was Paul Ryan. I am not in to body shaming anyone, especially given my condition, but gently caress Republicans and gently caress Paul Ryan.
