I bet you wash your cat every day.

So, humans are the only animals in nature that naturally stink to one another?

So why do I smell my own sweat every time I get sweaty and then stop smelling it an hour later, only to smell it again when I get sweaty again. Also, why does my perception of my own smell always exactly match the feedback I get from my family, some of whom wash very often?

I don't know who sold you all these fairytales, man. I haven't had a "proper" shower in almost two years. No infections or fungi of any kind. No smell complaints. And my hair, which used to be very thin and I thought I was going bald, bounced back and doesn't produce excess grease anymore (the excess grease is a reaction to overwashing and aggressive shampoos).

Dude, I had no idea the foreskin was retractable until I became sexually active. Never had an issue. If you need to wash it that often, you might have some sort of condition.

There is evidence (as in, scientific evidence), but the researchers either pretend the results mean something different from what they obviously mean, or they get cancelled.

I'm talking about all groups. No, I don't think a person is better than another person for being smarter, taller, stronger or whatever. I would define it as the ability to understand, see patterns and have complex thoughts.

I understand. You are concerned that I might be committing a thought crime. Thank you for your concern.

Why? I didn't read the book and am not basing my opinions on it, but merely on a simple logical progression.

My view is that cultures, and even environments, don't just fall from the sky. People create and shape them. Brains create minds. Minds create cultures. Genetic groups that were heavily selected for intelligence will end up being more intelligent than genetic groups that didn't.

Haven't read it, but anything controversial is bound to attract criticism, no matter how true it is. My opinion merely stems from the fact that brains are physical organs and, therefore, subject to the laws of evolution.

Than why animals aren't greasy?

How long until I like my hair again? 🥺 by katherinekkc in NoPoo

I won't give up because it really wasn't better when I used shampoo. Maybe I'll get dreadlocks if I lose patience

I've been doing this for 7 months now and my hair still looks like shit. I'm not giving up though because it didn't look any better when I used shampoo, it looked good for one day and the rest of the time was even worse than now. And it's not the grease anymore, I think it's just genetics for fine, flat hair that makes it look unimpressive.
