r/hypotheticalsituation 9h ago

How long would you go without cleaning your body for $10K a day?

  • You would still have to go about your normal life, you can’t lock yourself inside all day.
  • You cannot take a shower or bath of any kind, this also includes using baby wipes to wipe your yourself.
  • You cannot use environmental substitutes such as washing yourself with the rain.

Once you accept this challenge, it starts the next day, and when you quit the money immediately gets transferred to your bank.

Wasn't this already posted a few days ago? I could go 10 days at least.

u/mocha_lattes_ 6h ago

Yeah it's just a copycat post where they are trying to close some of the loopholes but they left out a lot of what was in the other post.

u/Different-Leather359 8h ago

They didn't mention baby wipes last time. I think this was to try to fix the loophole

u/Largicharg 9h ago

What if I normally lock myself inside all day?

Anyway, I’d definitely do a minimum of 10 days, maybe shoot for 15.

If the challenge is simply not to shower/bathe, this is Reddit... We can all go for months!

If we are also not allowed to wipe our asses or wash our hands... Not quite so long

u/unicornsprinkl3 8h ago

For me it’s brushing teeth. I can go 2 weeks without showering but I won’t go a day without brushing my teeth.

u/DalekRy 8h ago

If the challenge begins when I wake in the morning then I will fail this challenge within 15 minutes of rising. No wiping?!

I work in food service. Washing my hands is a thorough and practised routine. Hand-washing is the real world equivalent to scene transitions. "Okay, done slicing cucumbers. On to roasting chicken. But first, a message from our hand wash sink." So that is to abstaining from hand washing and wiping is going to make this a really different level of challenge for me.

u/KingSkye 7h ago

Dude you’re making 10k a day, find a different job and then live your life 😭

u/superfunction 6h ago

it also says you dont get any money until the challenge ends so your not making 10k a day

u/KingSkye 6h ago

Yeaahhh, that’s fair, and while serving makes some obscenely good money, it’d probably be fairly easy to find a decently paying warehouse job to be a line-working peon for a year where nobody gives a damn about ya and come out a millionaire.

u/Mysterious_Sport_731 8h ago

You’d be correct, but so long as you are chain smoking it covers up the smell of unwashed ass

u/jkhabe 9h ago

OP, clarify a couple points?

  1. Can you brush your teeth?

  2. Can you wipe your ass with toilet paper?

If it's "No" on both of those, couple'a days tops, for me. Otherwise, I'm retired, got nowhere I have to be so, I could go long term.

u/EffRedditAI 7h ago

OP didn't prohibit it so it's allowed. Similar to the law in the US: if it's not specifically prohibited, then you can legally do it.

u/thefuckfacewhisperer 1h ago

I would say yes. It specifically says go without a shower or bath. I read that as you can still wipe your ass, but no wipes for your butthole though. I would rule hand washing as allowable too since washing your hands and washing your body are generally viewed as separate things.

Serious health effects. Face infected eyes painful all the time. Everything is so dirty like your face, and so itchy. Whole body is itchy. It’s not the smell that’s the problem. It’s the fungal infections in your groin and on other parts of your body. You would be so sick and in pain before a year.

u/kit0000033 12m ago

Without washing, your skin cells start to build up, because you haven't been removing them... Build up too much and you risk infection... After about thirty days there's a visible layer of dead skin cells on you.... You won't make it to a year.

u/MrStewStew 8h ago

Whether or not I’m allowed to wipe my ass is the deciding factor here. If I can’t, god maybe a day or two. If I can, I’ll go until my significant other says I need to shower or she’s leaving me.

Can I wash my hands still? Can I just splash water on my face without soap?

u/OverzealousCactus 8h ago

Yeah I feel like these should be allowed if the intent is to "not bathe or shower", these are usual things people do even on days they don't shower.

2

u/BlumpkinDude 8h ago

Yeah. Washing your hands is basic health and being sanitary so you don't get sick. If I'm going to get paid 10k a day not to bathe, I'm just going to stay at home and not do anything that I would need to bathe myself for. I could probably do that for at least a month, maybe 2 if I fell into a good routine. Would using exfoliating masks be considered bathing?

I can't wash myself in the rain, but does that mean I can't go in the rain at all? Can I go swimming even if I don't actually scrub myself?

If I can choose to do this during the cold part of winter, probably a month? Like, don't get me wrong I'm not having fun, but 300k would like... literally change my life for at least the next decade. If it's winter I can minimize how gross I get by minimizing my active hours, and how warm i get. If I'm not actively sweating all the time, then I'm probably going to avoid being truly ripe till after the first week as opposed to the first couple days.

Finally a tough one. I shower or bathe between one and three times a day (bit of a germophobe,) so going any length of time would be hell to me. On the plus side I do work from home and can be stubborn if I have a goal in mind, so I might be able to go long enough to pay off any current debt; so I might be able to pull off two weeks if I'm given the chance to prep with a low residue diet.

$10K/day? A long time: I can not work (substitute teacher), have money saved up, don't have to go anywhere or interact with others, can get groceries delivered, etc. So I can go until I can't stand my own stench anymore.

Also: I still have my sprinklers running every day, so I can just stand out there for a little stink assistance each morning. So: not a shower or bath, and not rain, either, I'm still within your rules.

u/Kemya-Magnus 7h ago edited 7h ago

6 days. I would accept the challenge on a Monday, shower just before midnight.

Tuesday I am still pretty clean and I can go to work, wednesday I think I can stretch it without people at work noticing. At this point I am getting likely a bit too smelly to be around people. I'd try to apply for work from home for Thursday and Friday. If I am denied, I will take sick leave (up to 2 days they won't ask me a medical certificate). Saturday and Sunday are weekend days and I can just isolate or walk in a park. All activities for the week, aside from work, will be low-movement to reduce sweating. My partner would be informed in advance of the challenge.

On the following Monday I will shower very early (and for very long) and go back to work 60k richer

Wait.. is toilet paper considered cleaning oneself?

"No environmental substitutes like washing in the rain".

How about if you are a keen swimmer?

I'm not going to give up my sports activities, but would this count as washing if my primary reason was fitness? The fact that I would be cleaner when I get out is incidental, and arguably if it was a pool with chlorinated water then not showering in fresh water could be detrimental.

So if swimming is allowed, then I could possibly do this challenge for quite a long time!

Indefinitely. So I'd need to be paid regularly to survive, not at the end. There's a bacteria that is safe i can use to keep me clean from my own stuff. No BO, or other stuff like that. If I get soiled I can scrub with sand. I'll be doing it anyway because of my skin that desperately needs regular exfoliation.

Okay like, 10k a day is an absurd amount of money. I could go along my days, and eventually I’m going to be asked to leave work, eventually be fired, and then I can just stay home. I’ll run my errands and just not give a fuck because at the end of the day I get 10 grand. It will be gross, but the prize is worth it.

Years!

Thing is the rules are that I can't take a shower or bath or use baby wipes and I'm willing to include any form of washing myself. Key here is cleaning myself!

If I know I get 3.65 million a year I would surely be able to convince my wife, mother, heck even a stranger to wash me every other day and either share when I'm getting paid or pay per wash.

Sure it's tedious but doable for 3+ years and with 10+ millions I can retire early.

I recently quit my hellscape of a job... so I guess this would be the perfect time.

Clarification needed. I work at a factory with water, mist, and even more spraying water is basically the nature of the job. Does this count as environmental substitutes? If not… 9 days would be my absolute limit, due to all the other factors of my job.

u/anon1635329 4h ago

Assuming wiping your ass is okay since it's not washing but just wiping the shit off of your ass, I think I can go for months

u/DeliciousBeanWater 4h ago

As many days as it would take to get enought to pay off my debts +5. Esp rn since my normal day doesnt include leaving my house

Wait, so can we still go in the rain in regular life or are we just allergic to rain.

Because even if you don't INTEND to be washed by the rain, it would still have an effect on your cleanliness.

Anyone who has served in an infantry battalion realises that after a few weeks, you stop noticing how putrid you are.

It ceases to be a problem for you and becomes a problem for everyone else.

u/Nuclear_Geek 4h ago

Pretty sure that I could pay someone less than $1k a day to clean my body for me, leaving me over $9k a day profit.

As long as I can still wash my hands and wipe my arse I'm ok, it's cooling down in the UK now so I just have to try to not get sweaty

u/Real_Sir_3655 3h ago

I’m shaving my head and doing laundry everyday.

My students smell way worse than I would. I’m not bathing until I get 300k.

u/Mangopassion1234 3h ago

Are you allowed to wipe your ass after your shit?

1

u/Numerous_Spend8002 3h ago

I’m going to start getting my daily exercise via swimming.

I’m never bathing again.

I work remotely and am willing to lose friends who judge my sudden overwhelming embrace of nature.

I’m going a full year minimum. Likely 5.

u/SamanthaJaneyCake 3h ago

“Hey uh, boss… so I have this contract where I get $10k a day for not cleaning myself. Now, I know money’s a concern right now… what if I were to continue with my regular job but work from home for the next year and give half of that to you when the year’s up? That’d be a bit over $1.8m…”

u/AineMoon 3h ago

Could I go swimming, dry shampoo and wipes?

u/dj_boy-Wonder 3h ago

Tomorrow is a wfh day and I literally just got out the shower so I’m going to put on some of that insane 72 hour deodorant so I’m good for a day or two before this starts. I’m in the office Wednesday but after that I’m WFH until Next Thursday… so it really depends… I honestly suspect next Thursday morning is the first day I have to shower, it’s an important meeting and I can’t remote it without repurcussions… but also… let’s say I faulter on it… after that I have another week at home… let’s say I falter on the following meeting too… at this point I’m in the firing line for bad things unless I can get a serious doctors note… if I can then it’s probably minimum sept 18 before I have a really important divisional meeting…. That I CANT escape BUT!!!! I probably at worst get a talking to for not attending… we’re talking 10K per day… so a talking to is not that bad…. We’re already up to 180k… I’m still being paid by my job at this point… so let’s say I keep bailing it’s maybe end of September before I get sacked… so that’s when the timer really starts… I also have savings though… maybe 6 months worth… can I hide away for that long? Oof that’s a long shot but I could definitely hide away until around Christmas time. That’s the. I have to start seeing family… so I could probably do 100 ish days… at the end of it I’m jobless but I have $1m…

The person this would really effect would be my partner, so it depends on her tolerance to the stink. And if it was taking home 10k a day, I'd say we could stretch it pretty far. A couple of months maybe? Get us completely out of debt, update the house a load and squirrel a nest egg. I'd say we could pull a few months out of it.

u/diet-smoke 2h ago

Embarrassingly, during the lockdowns I once went 29 days without showering because I was all kinds of isolated and depressed. And that was for no money at all. I think I could do 65 days for this kind of money

1

u/Humble_Umpire_8341 2h ago

A similar post was posted last week. I swim pretty much daily, so I’m at least getting the opportunity to get into water regularly. But this becomes more of a problem if you can’t brush your teeth regularly, it would require a significant change in diet.

But to answer the question, I would go as long as I can go. There is no downside. A week is $70k, two weeks $140k, etc. You can’t make life changing money within 90 days, but you wouldn’t be free of working unless you made it past 200 days.

Unfair as I have the same ABCC11 gene as most Japanese/Korean people do.

I could pay someone to wash me, as the rules started that I cannot clean myself.

u/Gadekryds 2h ago

Well I’m on paternity leave for a couple of months, so at least 30+ days 😅 my wife wouldn’t mind if I told the reason

u/dimriver 2h ago

I'd probably go a year and be set for life. I'm sure work would fire me at some point. My friends would stop coming over on weekends. How would that affect must keep up normal activities? If I'm willing but others aren't?

u/altofanaltthatisalt 1h ago

Brushing my teeth allowed?

u/BlueEyedSpiceJunkie 1h ago

So I can just shower every other day for $10k/cycle? Done.

1

u/AshamedOfMyTypos 1h ago

My normal everyday life includes swimming for exercise twice a week. So, I think going a year is extremely possible.

1

u/ArikwithanA913 1h ago

Id be able to go at least 10 days.

u/HubblePie 1h ago

2 days. Saturday and Sunday. When I'm not working.

Soz is a French shower not allowed??

(When you just put on cologne to cover the B.O.)

u/Dry_Barracuda2850 1h ago

Most important can I clean my hands and my privates after going to the bathroom.

Next is can I wash my face.

If all of the above is fine then I'd maybe do it a week (maybe I could manage 2 weeks but not sure how much longer I could stretch it) as I work from home and rarely go out so I stay pretty clean as is.

u/CosbysLongCon24 58m ago

With current schedule I could probably make it a week easy. The real winners in here are anyone working as a lifeguard. It’s not tech an environmental substitute if it’s part of your job.

u/PandaMime_421 48m ago

You would still have to go about your normal life, you can’t lock yourself inside all day.

LOL. You clearly overestimate how often I need to leave the house.

It's not at all uncommon for me to go a week between leaving my own property or seeing anyone other than my partner. And if I'm making $70k/week by not cleaning myself I'm sure she'd be willing to do our weekly grocery pickup herself so I can keep the streak going.

Eventually it's going to create health issues, but I'd be happy going until it does. I think I could make it at least a month. In all likelihood I wouldn't need to see anyone other than my partner during that span.

u/Late_Increase950 48m ago

Judging by my old streak, I would be a millionaire

u/usernamerandomness 39m ago

Accept for 1 year. My SO would gladly take over my hygienic needs for that kind of payout.

u/Shivdaddy1 38m ago

Think I would try November - February.

u/truefan31 23m ago

Hmm I’m thinking around 7-10 days

u/kit0000033 16m ago

I'm disabled, on bad months I've gone 30 days without washing... Definitely taking this.
