I’ll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don’t know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I’ve let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives
Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for
Can we do “please use a washcloth in the shower?”
I think it has the potential to really annoy the core audience here, and also gives room for loofah posting.
I’ll bite: why? its just another rag that I’ll have to run through the wash every like 2 days
Because actually using a wet cloth to scrub something gets it cleaner than just putting soap on it then rinsing. If you think you’re doing a good job scrubbing with your fingers, you aren’t getting nearly as much coverage as you’d get in half the time with a rag.
also exfoliation.
using your hands is fine, how dirty are you people that you need to sand your body? I find that everyone who uses a washcloth type of thing uses it several times and not only does it makes the bathroom smell repulsive, but they’re also wiping themselves with a bacteria rag
There you go. That’s the spirit. Now we got the struggle sesh.
Gonna blow your mind here: you wash them.
if you do it after every use, it’s probably fine. people who I’ve seen use them don’t tend to do that
Its not a matter of abrasion or exfoliation, so much as friction. Soap helps but the primary cleaning mechanism in any shower or bath is manually scrubbing dirt particles away. A washcloth or loofah is objectively better than your hands or a raw bar of soap.
Objectively better at doing what? What goal are you trying to achieve? Does it reduce rates of skin infection? Improve skin health? Make you live longer? Make you happier? It really sounds like conformity to an arbitrary cultural perception of “cleanness” that isn’t related to any actual health or sanitary issues, but rather, dare I say, artificially created by loofah companies to sell more loofahs (which, as biological planet material, are subject to decay and harboring bacteria!)
Removing dirt
Clean balls
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and also you can wear it as a hat.
I bet you dont use a bidet either.
I grew mine guerilla gardening in the sump pond a condemned ampartment complex. The complex is condemned because i released native bedbugs and sprayed community-sourced MRSA on the doorhandles in an act of anti-landlord praxis. The loofa gourds are not native however, and have started choking out the grasses of the local dogpark. This is a double blow against DSA PMC gentrification and i am a better leftist than you. I will send you loofa seeds by COD mail. You will grow them. You do not have a choice in this.
I bet you’re not composting your drain-hair either.
Okay guerilla loofahs is cool as hell. I will start washing my balls now in honor of your good works.

Personally I retvrned to tradition and started rubbing myself down with olive oil and scraping it off like the Greeks of old
