    “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.

      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

      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.

    Average is not a good measure for the behavior of a population. Would have liked to have seen median.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

      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.
