1. shave with a doubled edged safety razor (merkur base, feather razors) vastly cheaper than gilette trillion blade razors. more elegant. also works like a dream https://t.co/pSYbFjSLxc
2. rarely wash my jeans. maybe once a month or less, unless they get dirty. there is an entire art for how to wash jeans. never wash with soap, only on cold. hang dry. your jeans will last years in this manner and keep their shape and color (good)
3. hang dry all my clothes. you can get a rack and just put it up in your apartment. dryers are terrible for clothes and cause them to fall apart vastly more quickly than necessary. stop doing this unless you have to https://t.co/86GiJYImXa
4. i dont touch receipts. the heat printing means they often have shit on them that is bad for you. generally drink out of glass or metal containers for similar reasons. https://t.co/pATSDXIVtB
5. i take about 10k ui vitamin d a day. people probably dont get enough vitamin d and there was some fuckup when they were computing how much you need exacerbating this. also go outside jfc https://t.co/PZOxPG8bxR
6. i use an electric toothbrush to avoid gum rescission from brushing too hard (a problem. unsure if universal) https://t.co/4W6C6AqCZa
7. i sleep on a handmade japanese futon. its total weeb shit yes. though i was actually introduced to this practice by my japanese family. great for ones back, probably. also creates vertical openness in ones room https://t.co/WxQLxKo3cz
8. onto this bed i put linen sheets. linen sheets are amazingly comfortable. highly recommend over cotton. also consider sending your polyester sheets into the sun https://t.co/2grWsrAIuy
9. stop wearing polyester. i beg you. it makes you sweat, its insulating properties are terrible, and its tactile aesthetic is notably lacking. also that shit pills also "quick dry" polyester towels are quick dry because they dont absorb water = are shitty towels. come on man
10. find a good tailor. bring your clothes to them. make them love you. https://t.co/kvNOKulaRv
11. i put inline water filters in. does it help. i have no idea. it probably doesnt hurt. do you know when your pipes were installed. do you live in Flint MI? might you? i may stop doing this after the kids leave because who cares at this point https://t.co/DcLujyJsuw
13. a good personal security hack is possessing, and training with, small arms. be sure to store them securely, follow the four primary rules of firearms safety, and have enough ammo on hand to barter in the event of social collapse https://t.co/9rQ2ZQ436k
14. i use blackout curtains so that my enemy the sun doesnt interrupt my sleep cylce. maybe this is actually bad idk https://t.co/7FbNWpkh96
think this was the vitamin d measurement issue incidentally recommended daily allowance is way way too low or was as of 2014. no idea whether they fixed their shit you will not be surprised that randos on twitter pointed me at this https://t.co/TCRVT5MELd
oh right 16. i dont use shampoo much. have a bit more recently, like once every two to three weeks. but this is only because my hair is nearing my shoulders now its unnecessary for many people https://t.co/3qO3yl8epF
17. i have some hepa filters. mixed feelings on this. theyre important because every summer or two air in seattle becomes unbreathable because of forest fires, and also i have an infant in the house. however https://t.co/vVskwcOoim
18. i generally lean toward just accepting hormetic doses of potential allergens and even embracing them. especially for my daughter and subsequent kids. some rumors of asthma being a consequence of inadequate exposure to such. maybe better to get immune system gainz
