You can also be so stressed that you have multiple periods in a month! that would suck during the apocolypse.

The makeup is permanent. She has alopecia. And her father wore that jacket as he was wasting away in the last stages of cancer--everything else swallowed him up.

High stress levels on top of that would also have that effect.

Laser is a thing. I haven't had to worry about bikini lines in about 15 years...

I live off grid in the woods. Grew a full beard because shaving in the cold and the dark sucks. Always make time to keep the lower regions well managed though.

Also knowing several women that live similarly... They don't shave their legs but they do keep the rest of their hair very maintained.

Unrelated, but it's been recorded that some tribes, to avoid body lice, actively plucked body hair. Some south american indigenous even used oitments and other concoctions made from plants to delay hair growth.

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

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.

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.

That absolutely made the game. I can't tell you how happy I was to see a character in a post apocalyptic world address their menstrual cycle. Bravo.

The discussion about the cup was also a good one.

Well, if you survive the first year that's not totally unreasonable. You can get pretty fit in a year.

Fuck. They need to do this. Bladder meter . When it gets full you start losing health. But you have to let your guard down to shit or piss and it takes at least 30s.

Keep in mind that pretty much ever post apocalyps character would have horrible diarrhea.

Just imagine every sneaking mission in Last of Us, Joel trying his best not to unleash a dirty bomb. Or the courier confronting Lanius atop Hoover Dam, chocolate water running down both their legs.

You'd have to find people who knew how to do those things. Cisterns, aqueducts, and even farming didn't just happen, they developed over time of people figuring out small things, and passing on the information generation after generation and building on the knowledge slowly. For the vast majority of human history, we didn't do these things.

Take ten or twenty random people from modern society and see how many of them know how to grow plants in a harsh environment and good luck getting one who knows how to work with stone. Just look back into our past, even relatively modern history, how often groups of people who were experienced farmers with passed down knowledge were almost, or actually were, starved out by the environment. Surviving is hard, even for those who have practised it. Modern society has made us forget that. Nature is waiting to own us again, and when she does, it will be brutal and nowhere near as easy as you make it sound. There's a reason we almost went extinct numerous times.

If you could hand pick a group of survivors, sure you could make a community, but you don't get to hand pick. You get who you happen to meet out of those who happen to survive which means random, which means good luck keeping the required skill sets alive.

Yeah and they mean next to nothing because every brand decides what their numbers mean.
