And despite barely getting enough food to eat the men are all jacked bodybuilders with 2% body fat in perfectly fitting muscle tees. Nobody gets utis or fungal infections despite not bathing. No one has to deal either poor eyesight or healing loss (especially since they shoot guns constantly without protection) Nobody gets worms or other parasites from eating bad food. Or dies from dehydration due to diarrhea. Etc etc.

It's almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn't about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.

Makes me appreciate The Road more cause everyone's body in that movie SUUUUUCKED

[–] CitizenKong 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That book had more mentions of the word "grey" than anything I have ever read. I couldn't stomach watching the movie.

[–] theragu40 8 points 1 year ago

The movie, despite being unrelentingly bleak, actually isn't quite as soul crushing as the book. At least it wasn't for me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Never watched the movie, but the book made me thoroughly fear a post apocalyptic society. Tlou or Twd looks like a visit to Disneyland in comparison.

Nobody gets utis or fungal infections despite not bathing.

Not bathing is not a problem for humans, skin and hair need time to adjust, but after that all good.

Edit for idiots: Yes you are going to stink to ass and sweat but you are not going to die.

Also farmers baths are a thing. A little bit of water, soap, sterilizer in the form of alcohol or vinegar, and rags or baby wipes is all you need to stay clean.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Do not mix soap and vinegar. You will just de-saponify the soap and end up with expensive oil and salt. Vinegar is an acid and soap is a base. Use them separately.

Yes, you learned a new word today:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

[–] aesthelete 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll just go ahead and keep vinegar out of my bathing process entirely thank you very much.

[–] Smokeydope 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I prefer alcohol as a sterilizer myself but some people with sensitive skin like vinegar better

[–] Smokeydope 10 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the clarification, I already do them separate but its good to know and I did learn a new word :)

[–] Bgugi 1 points 1 year ago

TIL saponification is reversible... But it's technically called esterification.

See? I never have to bathe because women love my natural body scent. My mom still forces me to shower once a month despite any amount of facts and logic. No wonder I'm still single /s

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 year ago

I actually had a guy once tell me that he didn't bathe because "women are attracted to my natural musk" but also that he was "voluntarily celibate."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Turns out it's an unpopular opinion, despite being true

My hair dresser doesn't like the fact I don't use shampoos or conditioners, but mostly because he can't sell me hair products

It's almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn't about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.

Also, they time travel past going to the shitter, sleeping, most of the journeys etc. So unrealistic that it's literally unwatchable.

[–] Smoogs 5 points 1 year ago

Right? Just aging will get you an infection at the slightest change in the wind. Slept wrong? Ear Infection. Used those eyedrops and accidentally breathed into the cap before using it again? Hello eye infection. Oops didn’t pee after sex? Hello UTI. Heck didn’t even have sex? Your biome changed? UTI anyways.

Oh and if your infection gets out of hand: not enough doctors and you run a high chance of dying in ER

There’s a reason why the life expectancy shot up after antibiotics were developed. The moment we go back into the apocalypse we’re gonna start dying before 45 again. And more gruesome and painful ways than a zombie attack. Heck that will be considered humane.

Made me want to get back into Sons of the Forest. Now those are my people.

It's not really fun escapism when it blatantly throws out verisimilitude for the sake of presenting the same trite, cliche propagandized rehashed garbage to us over and over and over again.

I'll take the realistic apocalypse movie that actually gets the little things right. The little things are what helps sell the big things, like, well, zombies.

What about zombie films not showing periods is propaganda?

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

Or anything practically realistic, because it's not a good faith critical examination of a situation like that the way the books are. They're a mish-mash of tropes and cliches corporations know will put ignorant NPC asses into seats to bilk money off of them. They don't make people think about what they're watching which is one of the most important uses of critical thinking, have no real world message, and if they do the messages are extremely negative, i.e. The Walking Dead advocating the "every man for himself" mentality that stops the working poor from working together.

I could go on for days about it and that's literally the tip of the iceberg.

But you're not interested in a meaningful debate, you're angry I dare to criticize something you like and you were only asking because you are looking for holes you can dig through to convince yourself I'm wrong and thus feel better about ingesting mindless, logically frail shit that doesn't stand up to scrutiny, so this talk can't really happen. No talk can be had with you.

[–] gmtom 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't even like zombie films or games. You're just being all high and mighty over nothing.

But yeah keep up with your cringe pseudo intellectual bullshit, so you can tell yourself everyone is a dumb mindless NPC and you're the one true free thinker in this world.
