I didn't even know that was a thing until recently. I thought the bedsheets just stayed until you moved

What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

broooooo
this is the way
Bot account :(
It's a good bot tho, it doesn't lie or pretend. Lemmy needs content right now and good bots help with that. They will be taken offline once communities are big enough.
A good bot would tell me they're a bot instead of a commenter having to do it.
@L4s@lemmy.world is a very well known bot account at this point. Users are able to block each other. I think it will increasingly become a problem if we tolerate unmarked bots, but this is the only one I know atm that isn't marked as one
They do tell you. It's that B after the post.
The only B I see on this post is in the url and the word bed.
Huh. It's there on the desktop but not on jerboa.
Update: L3s made the decision to mark it as a bot and has taken the time to reach out and sort of explain their thought process and feelings and I really appreciate it. No bad blood or hurt feelings or anything, and I genuinely think that there's value and good intention in what they're doing, I just had an issue with this one specific thing and it looks like we got past it. No big deal, we're all adults, now let's eat some cheese.
The issue here is that there is specifically an option on Lemmy to not show bot account and this particular account does not appear to be marked as a bot in the preferences.
It can post that's fine, but not everybody wants to see bot accounts. That's why that preference exists.
But will they really?
If we post more, will the bots leave? Either way we're being manipulated.
Thanks for the heads up!
I deleted the comment I made. I'm not interested in this sort of bot in the fediverse.
Ugh!
"average person changes sheets 4 times a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person changes sheets 25 times per year. Sheets Georg, who lives in cave & changes sheets never, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
That's fucking gross
Average is not a good measure for the behavior of a population. Would have liked to have seen median.
Can absolutely confirm.
Holy shit, that’s basically once per season. I feel bad if I go a month. And in the summer, two weeks feels like a lot.
Sounds about right
Dude! Change your sheets! Today!
Yeah, it's a thing. I make it a point to wash my partner's sheets before his other partner comes to visit, because I like her and my partner has a blind spot when it comes to sheets. It doesn't help that he has strong preferences for sheet texture and, while he has multiple sets of sheets, only one set is top tier.
Also, shout-out to sleeping in a hammock: I can just wash my whole bed.
Your life sounds more complicated than mine but good looking out. :)
Don't they stink after a while?
When I was single I had a lot more time and I like a clean bed. Washed everything twice a week.
Now that I am married, once a week.
I shower before bed. I like to sleep clean.
They only get dirty when I sweat or have sex on them. I sweat in bed maybe twice a year.
Why change them more often?
Bruh you still shed skin cells and oils, and bacteria that lives on your body will be multiplying like crazy all over your bed.
oh goddammit. gross.
now i HAVE TO change them.
If nothing else you are constantly shedding skin and I assume farting from time to time. That adds up.
Never underestimate the farting
I do the same thing. Still wash it at least twice a month.
I think I remember reading somewhere that if you shower at night then you can get away with changing your sheets for a considerable amount of time longer but it was like 3 weeks vs. 1 week.
At least that's how I live my life and I think I'm fairly clean.
I do the same. I change my sheets 2-4 times a month. BTW... I don't sweat in my sleep 😏
I have to change mine weekly. bad bedbug infestation in my neighborhood. Dirty sheets attract them.
I'd like to see the distribution. I'd bet the times a year and ~50 times a year are more common than 4 times a year.
Sound about right. It might even be less for for me LOL
its weird how proud you are of how gross you are, bro.
I wouldn’t call it being proud. It just doesn’t smell bad, and I usually don’t care to do things because that’s how it’s supposed to be done, so why should I change the sheet more often?
Why do you change it more often? Does yours smell bad?
My sheets smell like me, they don't smell bad to me, but if someone else were in my room, I'd change them
Bro, if you havent changed your bedsheets but every 3 months or less, they stink. You just are nose blind to it cause you have your nose burried in your stink for a solid third of the day.
Edit: tried to delete comment when I found out this was posted by a bot. I can't seem to find a way to delete a comment. wtf?
Yuck...
Come on fellas we need to pump these numbers up
Instructions unclear, changing bed twice a year.
