I remember the first time I went to an anime convention, and was SO EXCITED because they were going to host a DDR tournament!

Then I went into the room where the tournament was supposed to be held and almost died. They were routinely shutting down the room just to try to air it out, and were doing routine announcements of "I do not care if you think you do not smell. Everyone needs to go back to their hotel and shower before coming back. We are serious."

I didn't enter the tournament.

Turns out neurodivergent people think showering is what keeps them from smelling and refuse to regularly apply Anti-Perspirant.

Or worse, nobody ever told them 'Deodorant' lasts a whopping 2-4 hours compared to anti-perspirant. YMMV but most people aren't the lucky ones with great skin or genetics that don't make you rank like others who can last '48 hours' with one application...

Like flushable wipes, yes, it says it lasts 48 hours, it's bullshit. A few swipes in the morning in each pit, a few swipes every evening especially if you're even lightly active. That means light-moderate pressure swipes too. Not so hard you're leaving a visible layer which is why so many highschoolers shirts end up with white armpits, but not so softly that no material is literally coming off the cake. Reapplying more to already caked on pits is doing little. That means it's time to shower and put on less next time. And wait until your pits are fully dry!... then let the antiperspirant dry before tossing on a shirt and it'll help with that shirt crud.

Try smelling your pits a couple hours after getting out of a good shower without applying any. It's not the shower keeping most the stench off. It's antiperspirant.

And yes, we will smell when you didn't put any on Connor. Yes, we know you don't think you stink because you can't smell yourself. Yes, other people will always know when you smell. Air molecules travel at 500 meters per second.

Correct, you can't wear the same thin hoodie 24/7 for more than a few days without it smelling. Yes, you should change your underwear daily. Yes, jeans can be worn for a while before needing a wash. Your thin ass comfortable nylon/polyester sweat pants only last a day with your stank. Wash your clothes. Wash your bedding ideally once a week unless you use pajamas. Even then, at least wash your pillow case once a week.

Start the routine now or set an alarm on your phone then actually follow through.

500m/s=1118mph. Seems unlikely

actually they're only slightly off. 3-400m/s

Though that's for individuals. The average is near 0, since they're all going in random directions, canceling each other out.
