I constantly forget to take showers due to depression. I know I’m not the only one 😂 summer is early here in Texas and I don’t want to be the stinky dude

Uses the humidity readings of my bathroom to determine whether I was in the shower:

  • A running 1 hour average of the bathroom humidity is measured.
  • If the current humidity is 8% above the average, it is triggered as “wet”.
  • Then it marks down the last time, and then converts that to “days & hours since” last shower.

I have a badge at the top of my main dashboard that will let me know how long it’s been. It’s already been useful. If I see anything over 2 days I know it’s past time for a shower

I got a false positive from washing my hands when it was set to trigger by 5% increases, so I changed it to 8%.

Happy to share my code if anyone wants to do the same!

    My skin didn’t appear to give a shit up until my mid-30s. Perhaps I just didn’t notice cause it wasn’t bad enough. These days a proper bath with soap produces dry and itchy skin. That’s why I’ve switched to mostly water with mild soap only for the smell-accumulating regions. Basically balance smell control with skin health. I also haven’t had any fungal skin overgrowth since then.

    My 20-year-old self would be disgusted by my 40-year-old one. 😅

    That said, am married and wife is happy with the total VOC output so I have the privilege to not have to cater to other standards.
