This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits (thelemmy.club)

    Always bugged me how the grass wasn't overgrown in The Walking Dead. Who the hell is going around mowing lawns in the zombie apocalypse?!

    The same thing that is lighting the candles in caves and hideouts in Doom and Skyrim. It’s their summer job

    Oh damn! Great catch, those are definitely one of the details why I could never get into the show. My brain registered it subconsciously without verbalizing it, I just knew I didn't like it or it felt dumb for some reason.

    It was just emo drama happen to be set in a zombie apocalypse setting that wasn't even believable.

    Not as bad as the comic though. That one sucked so bad.

    My biggest gripe is when they're not cleanly shaven, visibly dirty and rugged, and then their teeth are blinding white. Motherfucker even my own teeth don't fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

    They're always "styled dirty", so they look filthy but somehow perfect. It's like when the hero gets a cut, it's always this cool looking little streak across the cheekbone, or if it's on the body it's a perfect 10cm scar on the shoulder, or close by the pelvis so they can show off their abs. It takes me out of the suspension of disbelief, because I can't get lost in the acting if the acting is done by these perfect creatures that look NOTHING like they haven't slept, are underfed, paranoid, depressed, and on the brink.

    Sure, that is harder to achieve, because good art is hard to achieve, and I just don't dig cheap art, what can I say.

    Part of that (the cut placement) is making the prosthetics though. Yeah, you can make good looking cuts elsewhere, but the more the site moves, the more hassle it is. Facial prosthetics in particular run into trouble when they're near the mouth or brows. So you end up with cheeks being preferred overall.

    With the body, you run into issues with making something visible, movable, and believable. Gashes across the abs fail at all three, whereas shoulder and pecs are solid choices. Legs would be too, but they're not in frame as much, and shouldn't be without a good reason.

    Everything on screen is a compromise of some sort.

    Maybe you should try brushing instead.

    Bruh, when you're out in the shit and get a chance to shave, you do it. If you're used to a certain length, and CANT shave, it's like #3 on the list of things you dream about when thinking about getting back to civilization. So if you're always in the shit, you'll always put it high on the list.

    YOU do, maybe. In a survival situation, trust me, that is not high on the list of concerns.

    I meant after basic survival needs have been met. Obviously food, water, shelter are more important. But humans are hard wired to feel a sense of some hygiene, though you wouldn't know it from some people.

    We don't like to feel icky, for sure, but the scope for what we consider "icky" narrows a lot when we're trying to survive.

    True, and a beard can be useful to break up the visual lines that the human brain identifies as a face. It'd only be a part of the overall camouflage profile, but if it's already 1/3 done for you, it's a win. But I can't stand my beard getting that long. It's like wearing a steel wool sweater to me.

    Edit: not just human brain, animal brain.

    The utility of facial hair is modest. It has potential for sure! But first let's have dinner.

    Once survival has gone on for some time (depends on the person), you're going to start making a few 'comfort' decisions. Granted, I wouldn't go raid a CVS for razors but if I found a pair of scissors I might start doing a trim.

    Also, hate the feeling of greasy hair, so I'm quick to cut it off or rub dirt all over it if I can't take care of it.

    Absolutely, getting a shower and having soap on your body is Magical Jesus Heaven when you've been in the dirt for a longer period of time, and it's definitely an important morale motivator, actually just longing for it, so it definitely has survival value apart from basic hygiene making sure to let the body heal and not catch infections and so on...

    I suppose the scope of the situation matters for what we are talking about. In a true survival situation, it's an afterthought. In anything below that it becomes proportionally more accessible and pertinent, of course.

    Edit: Shit I answered twice without noticing, I just re-read your comment and had something else to say I suppose :) <3

    There is a lot to be said for morale improving things like hot showers, clipping your nails, and all of that, but they are always luxuries (valuable luxuries), though they could certainly act as motivators. When you live under duress, you find that you can actually get used to very base forms of existence, over a long time.

    Edit: ah shit for some reason I can't see that Ive commented on you before so I keep doing it thinking it's a new comment. Shit, I'm gonna write a letter to the devs of this app, Eternity, I have many opinions on many of the tings.

    Edit2: then again one might wonder how come I can't recognize a comment I've read three times.... Hmmm
