  • This hurts to read. As a lefty, I read these “studies” my whole life. The statistic that doesn’t show here is the one I remember most: that lefties are much more likely to commit suicide than righties. Also none of these mention the sociological factors here. How until very(!) recently, lots of people were forced into right-handedness by schools or church. I would guess that this plays a big part in these numbers. Especially when viewing the gendered handedness. Would be interesting to examine that more.








  • I mean you have wikihow but it’s not really high-quality all the way through. There doesn’t exist one guide. All of these topics are highly debatable, have different opinions with far different perspectives. Some things you just have to figure out yourself with the help given to you. Means: get as much info as possible, compare, talk to others, reflect on your own experience and expectations.

    There is no “one better way” to do these common tasks. And many companies spend an insane amount of money to spread (mis)information on how best to eat, exercise, get to work, clean, dress, wash… So I don’t believe there’s “objectively” one way to do anything. Find your way.



  • That’s beside the point. If you only care about your hygiene because of others, you’re neglecting your own comfort. I’m not wearing deodorant, for example, because I don’t want to. I’m still not smelly in the negative sense (yes I asked), because I take showers regularly - and I take showers regularly because I care about my own body
