YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

That's what armpit hair is supposed to do. Pubes as well. They're pheromone transmitters
Crazy to think that stench is supposed to be alluring. Is that the takeaway here? It's more like a repellent in my mind.
Pretty sure I read about a study where they found people that smell bad are genetically close to you, like relatives and people you shouldn't procreate with.
People who smell nice are genetically diverse.
Eh.. best lit review I could find only found that smell predicted preferences among non-birthcontrol-using fertile women. So... Smell nice around them maybe? Lit review
I went to school with an inbred family, they all stank bad. Natures way of saying don't fuck that
Maybe not a product of being inbred in and of itself, but more like an intelligence indicator maybe? Correlation ≠ causation etc.
Fair enough, sounded good at the time
Still though. Don't fuck with inbreds. 👌
Maybe you were a long lost bruncle?
My GF would definitely disagree with you there. On my worst days, she stuffs her face into my pits and is practically intoxicated by it. Turns her on.
Sidenote: my pet cat (female) also goes nuts for it. She'll root her nose into my pits and get all lovey. If she finds a soiled shirt out of the basket, she goes crazy, and her brother had better steer clear when she's "high on pits."
ETA: I agree with you, however
lol
I find myself stinky at rare times, but when I let my wife smell me she says it's not bad at all. I guess it's somewhat of a similar sitch. Minus the arousal, sadly for me...
I do smell exactly like my dad. It's crazy to me. My wife doesn't know that by her nose, she just knows because I've told her. But it's kind of freaky to me personally.
Yeah there’s a great middle ground between clean and rank. When my partners work out they smell intoxicating
