    You'd think after countless ancestors passing down the knowledge of bathing we'd have it down by now

      Our ancestors dedicated a substantial amount of time and labor to the construction and maintenance of community showers and bath houses.

      Then we enclosed the commons, neuroticized the idea of public bathing, and commodified human contact to the point where every interaction is a service.

      So now everyone stinks.
