We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”

About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.

"Used to start meetings with icebreakers"

Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Who says cheesecake isn't a pie? It sure as hell isn't cake.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, cheesecake is cake in exactly the same way that ice cream cake is cake, in that it isn’t at all even slightly close to being cake.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that's just ice cream shaped like a cake. That's just an imposter.

I dunno I think I’ve had cheesecake in a crust only once before but I’ve seen it in cakes a lot. Saying it’s a pie sounds outlandish to me.

At this point smooth or crunchy peanut butter is so much of a cliché it actively bores me.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"Should Nazis be allowed to run the government?" - surprisingly controversial recently, and a definitive end to the meeting, if not the whole practice.

Some people may enjoy getting head from communist Pac-Man.

Who also had a fetish for armpits

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don't scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe try living in a place that doesn't require regular skin sacrifices?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

That has nothing to do with dry skin on your legs.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm just wearing pants all day, how dirty can my leg possibly get?

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Showering is to remove dead skin cells, as well.

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I prefer to let them rest where they fell in battle as a warning to any who would oppose my rule!

How rough of a scrubbing action does the skin want?

…OK apparently not much, thought I might see washcloths recommended and so on

I find that the shower is the most convenient place to wash my legs.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Followed very unclosely by the bidet.

If this is bro saying he doesn’t wash his ass, or his worry is because he knows his ass is stanky, then I have no idea how she’s put up with him this long.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I remember in the olden days of reddit where there was this huge thread where many people didnt wash their ass because it was "gay" or gross. I think it started with a thread about someone telling men to also wash their balls because they stink too.

Water is a terrible lubricant too, I dont recommend for seggsy time.

[–] sundrei 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My old wrestling coach once felt he had to remind us to "wash behind the balls."

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

You gotta get your gooch!!

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Cleanse the taint, as it were

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Gotta get some silicone lube for shower sexy time

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think there ever was a threat where men said that. It was someone on Twitter going "apparently men don't wash their ass because it's gay" and it spiraled from that iirc.

There are worse things in life than having your ass washed by someone who loves you. Bonus points for the reach around handy.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One of yous is gonna be cold with the other gets the shower water

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the real reason to be scared. She’s gonna hog that hot water and he’s gonna freeze! Showering together seems so sexy and romantic in the movies but it’s actually just really awkward and uncomfortable!

Maybe it’s better if you got some kind of rich person giant luxury shower! Wait, of course it’s better!

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The actual real threat is the temperature of the water.

If there was a "guaranteed to mutilate, superheated water vapor" option some women I've known would choose it.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

They’re basically showering under the steam wand of a giant espresso machine!

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

That's not the problem because you can just cuddle to warm up. The problem is when one of yous likes the water hotter than the other.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

If she wanted to wash your ass, she would have asked you to step outside and hosed you down with a garden hose with your clothes still on.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not your girlfriend, it's just Del in disguise!
