Why are many men growing beards again ? (lemmy.ml)

If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be?
I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:...

Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US?
So I have balls and yeah they’re the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I’m in a hurry and I don’t smell much. That’s with working a job that’s usually physical.

What are some insults in english that will make non-native speakers have to ask someone their meaning?
What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with.
