People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why? (lemmy.world)

Like, I travel around for work and I've met plenty of people from all backgrounds.

Why is there a demographic of people who don't seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it's an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I've met that smell bad are usually you're average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I've met a concerning number of people who don't seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don't even bathe regularly; it's starting to become an issue for me, as I don't even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.

Does anyone have any possible insight?

I look forward to reading what an online community that specializes in Linux and Star Trek memes has to say about personal hygiene...

I'm sorry, personal what? Is there a GitHub link where I can compile that?

Is this a joke I'm too C# to understand?
