Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Same. It only takes me about 12 hours to go from freshly showered to glistening like a ham with grease even with minimal physical activity and moderate temps.
Before anyone gets on me about "try this different soap" or "your skin will adjust if you just start showering less", I have tried both, believe me. I have tried basically every soap on the shelf from ultra gentle barely even a soap soaps to bathing with literal surgical scrub. I have tried ultra moisturizing soaps, I have tried soaps for greasy skin and hair, I have tried medicated ones, I have tried natural ones, I have tried everything. I have also tried the "just shower less" advice. It doesn't work. I can cut my number of showers in half or even less for months at a time and my skin doesn't adjust one bit, I just get greasier, smellier, and also break out in rashes as a bonus. Some people just have really greasy skin. Also tried different diets from vegan, to keto with no change.
Depending on my environment, the problem for me is mostly when I sleep. I'm not a very active person, especially since I got hurt, so I don't work up much of a sweat from exercise (though I should try to do better on that). I honestly don't leave my house very often, so I largely control my environment and I like it cold. I'm not saying I stay clean and sanitary throughout the day, but from when I shower to when I go to bed, I would usually consider myself largely socially acceptable to go out or to have guests. However, I'd prefer no one see (or smell) me between getting up and showering.
My condolences regarding your situation, especially the rashes. It sounds like it's a bigger issue for you than it is for me. Clearly you've tried to resolve it, but good luck to you in finding a functional solution someday. Despite my lesser concern about my morning hygiene, I've also received lots of recommendations on how to address it and, while the efforts are appreciated, it can be frustrating when the recommended solutions are impractical or don't work.
Good luck.
