No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question 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.

Questions 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 META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, 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.



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.

How do these companies come to that conclusion? I think most people start to smell after only 24 or 48 hours max so how do these companies get 72 hours out of their testing?

Im assuming they're fudging their numbers but at what point does it become false advertisement?

Oh no, I'm genuinely asking...

I don’t know how they measure it, but I used to stink despite showering twice a day. I had to put a lot perfume and deo. I always had the feeling that my bath towels were stinking. Until, one day I ran out of soap and used my head and shoulder as soap and also forgot to put deo. 24 hours later there were very litle sent that you had to be mm away from under arm to smell anything. Now I just use head and shoulders as my soap and shampoo. I only use deo if I’m going to do labour intensive movements/activities. My wife was shocked when I told her I havent used deo in over 6 months. Her only concerns is about safety, since I am using it daily. If any of you reading this are scientists let me know the risk of the daily usage.

Head & Shoulders contains ingredients that have anti-fungal properties: 

Zinc pyrithione
Also known as ZPT, this ingredient is an active ingredient in Head & Shoulders dandruff detox shampoo. It can reduce the amount of fungus on the scalp, which can help prevent dandruff. ZPT can also help manage seborrheic dermatitis, an inflammatory scalp condition. However, it can cause contact dermatitis in rare cases. 

Selenium sulfide
This ingredient acts as an antifungal and antibacterial cleansing agent. It can help prevent the growth of Malassezia, a type of yeast that causes dandruff. However, it can cause excessive oiliness and yellow discoloration in the hair shaft. 

I think you had fungal infection mate

Head and shoulders has anti-fungal properties. That may have been the source of your smelling problem.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Why would it be wrong to use daily? Many people shower daily and use it as shampoo.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Why not go talk to your doctor and see if you have a fungal skin infection. Many of them are nearly undetectable. The doctor should be able to give you an antifungal pill to take for a few weeks and you should be smelling normal again.

I periodically used mouthwash, on my arm pits, as a teenager. It cleared the funky smell quite impressively. I would definitely suspect head and shoulders anti fungal properties as the useful bit.

I'm gonna try this at home

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry bro, but you were basically a mold monster. Also, it's unlikely you stopped smelling bad. Maybe comparatively! H&S is anti-fungal shampoo.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

i'm very convinced it makes you stink worse than it otherwise would when it expires.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Not at all, now I shower only one time a day with no deo, and if I feel my armpit is swaety i just rinse it with plain water until I shower. No funcky smell at all. Even sex sweat is not funky anymore.

How long have you been sitting on this photo just waiting for the right moment? Amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Since it was taken, clearly.
