Hello,
I was wondering if there exists any objective, high-quality guides to doing various human-stuff like showering, properly eating, integration in society, basically anything that can be thought as interacting with the real world.
Maybe there’s a wiki for such stuff? A weird request, for sure, but I am wondering if there’s an overall better way to do common stuff.
I’ve found the worst case scenario handbook to be very useful, but more material is always better.
I’m curious where this is coming from.
What exactly is it that you’re unsure of regarding bathing or eating? Are you questioning the source of your guidance thus far? Have you had no guidance? Are you an AI or alien trying to learn more about humans?
You’d be surprised. There are people who don’t know how to wash their genitals (both genders). People who don’t know how to clean up after pooping, or even how to best sit while pooping. People use cotton swabs to “clean” their ear wax (which is kind of like eating a pudding cup with a baton).
Not OP but my parents were “helicopter parents” and I was kind of brainwashed into thinking that school was the only purpose in life. You MUST get a degree, and that’s it. I had no education except “do your homework.” No real friends, no purpose in life, no thinking for myself. I was filthy, brushed my teeth once a day, took a shower once a week or once a month. No one ever noticed. It was worse than being a catholic extremist.
When I got a master’s degree, I didn’t knew what money was, health, having an opinion, paying taxes, taking a real shower, buying food, cooking food. I knew nothing and it took me years to even understand that it was a thing that you had to do every day. It was way before the internet but I’m happy it exists for young people. Physical abuse is difficult to detect, but psychological abuse is even more sneaky.
