I just....I can't even

Question posed on my month board:


"Would You, Could You? 
                                 

Would you be able to go without a shower AND brushing your teeth, for 3 months, if you were guaranteed $30,000 for doing so?"


AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE "OF COURSE, ABSOLUTELY".

I wouldn't go out in public.  

This would also depend on some fine print.

But Listerine and a whore bath can go a long way and I could use $30K.

I can't even do 3 days.  Two days is rough.  It'd have to be $3M instead.

6fsn

Not for $30k.

TheMrsC23

Even as a work-from-home person who doesn't have to go anywhere, I couldn't do it.  Ugh.  No.

Not brushing your teeth goes beyond having bad breath and discolored teeth.  Way beyond.

30K ... sure. Gum and the aforementioned whore bath. 

**O-Face**

They didn't say you couldn't swim.  Did they!?!  Because I would become a goddamn fish.

And I'm a dirty hippy who goes 2+ days without getting my hair wet sometimes.

Also, it specifies "showering," so baths are cool?

AuntFlo

No.  Unless I'm having no period whatsoever in those three months.

So, how many periodontal scalings, crowns, bridges, root canals and dental implants will 30k get me?

zsazsa-stl

Yes.  Especially if sponge bathing, listerine and gum are allowed.

Not to mention health care you'll need if you develop heart disease, have a stroke, etc.

I guess there wouldn't be any sexy time in those 3 months either.

PMeg819

EW. No, that's just nasty. I can't even go a day without showering and being a giant greaseball.

I dont think that many oral problems would really happen in only 3 months. People didn't used to brush their teeth regularly, or at all, and while obviously their teeth were gross and probably didn't look great, they didn't immediately fall out or rot. If your teeth got horribly infected and caused all sorts of health problems after only 3 months without regular brushing, no one after the age of like, 10, would have had any teeth in the 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, etc.

"So, how many periodontal scalings, crowns, bridges, root canals and dental implants will 30k get me? "

in 3 months time, i seriously doubt any of this is going to be an issue unless this went beyond 3 months. more like years.

i am not so sure i'd be bale to do it, unless i could find loop holes, like wiping my teeth with a washcloth and some serious rinsing with listerine. and the shower thing might be nearly impossible for me. i can't really go much longer than 24 hours, and i'm constantly washing my face and freshening up during that time between showers. i even shower before going to the beach.
