Wut you don’t take a shower right away?

Heat

Too much bother to take a shower in the middle of the day's events.

I knew, knew, knew there would be something about bathing habits. Well, morning=bath time around here, that's all.

I suppose the theory is wash away yesterday and welcome today. (NOT sure about how this works)

You can just bathe when you want tbh
Campus hours are flexible enough rite

ohhhh that

 

yeah i only bathe at random times

[pokari]

Morning showers are more common here as well, to my knowledge. I usually do evening hygiene personally but that's just an adaptation so I don't conflict with other people over the supply of hot water, more or less.

Japan's tendency for evening baths I always sort of assumed was helped by the fact that east asians seem on average to not smell as much (though I haven't tested this thoroughly) as almost everyone else (low sweat? Difference in microbe biome? It's more the bacteria that live on us that smell, after all.)

when i goto the gym early in the morning i take a shower in the morning

when i goto the gym after work i take a shower at night

 

people should take a shower when they exercise and they should exercise

[pokari]

Well, I agree with that sentiment (at least/especially for intense exercise; a hike through the mountains for instance is good exercise but does not always merit an immediate shower), I suppose so long as there's not a severe water shortage or anything.

But for most of us excercise is not something that happens on a regimented daily basis—irrespective of whatever abstract stance most of us may have on excercise—and so hygienic rituals must be allotted independently of such events.

I am certainly a nerd uwu. Having said that, I have observed enough other people—and seen enough statistics (being a nerd and all) on excercise in this country to know it's not just us.

It is true that we're pretty well-established as, on average, abstaining from physical activity than our neighbors, and while I haven't seen any numbers to back uo the claim, it seems likely.

Oopsie owo I did a whoopsie.

I could exercise my powers of editing and excise the mistake (but then the ghost of the incident would exist in Penrowo's quote—and I am no exorcist X3)

Seems to be an ongoing obsession of mine as of late (albeit low-key). Is it finally my turn to be a shoujo protagonist?

Dove

What happens in May? o.o

...I've been an anime/manga pirate for so long that the idea of buying them is completely foreign to me. It's a weird blind-spot in my psyche; like if someone owns most of what they read I get slightly weirded out.

Not sure what that says about me (other than perhaps leading to a complex conclusion that I am at heart a hypocrite, like most humans).

Dame

Getting sick is dame desu yo.

... actually, I didn't get super sick any time this winter. Huh. It feels like I was more or less laid up for about a month around January the past few years, but this year I seem to have had no big issues.

I hope both you and your grandmother feel well soon.

The curious thing is that I have never been healthier in my life

Well, health would seem to be a bit of a probability game; doing the right things decreases your chances of getting ill, but even the healthiest people get sick (or die of heart attacks—I fear I must concede my inner cynic found Dr. Atkin's cause-of-death to be a tad amusingly ironic given some of his advertising spiels, for instance).

I am glad you are otherwise in good health, though.
