Hello,

I was wondering if there exists any objective, high-quality guides to doing various human-stuff like showering, properly eating, integration in society, basically anything that can be thought as interacting with the real world.

Maybe there’s a wiki for such stuff? A weird request, for sure, but I am wondering if there’s an overall better way to do common stuff.

I’ve found the worst case scenario handbook to be very useful, but more material is always better.

Thank you for your replies! I learned a lot of useful stuff here. Also, the context is simply that I want to know if there are more efficient ways of doing things. Initially I was looking for a highly curated collection of things, but I realized it’s simply not possible to give a complete primer on life. That’s what other people are for. Thanks again for all the help.

    I’m curious where this is coming from.

    What exactly is it that you’re unsure of regarding bathing or eating? Are you questioning the source of your guidance thus far? Have you had no guidance? Are you an AI or alien trying to learn more about humans?

      You’d be surprised. There are people who don’t know how to wash their genitals (both genders). People who don’t know how to clean up after pooping, or even how to best sit while pooping. People use cotton swabs to “clean” their ear wax (which is kind of like eating a pudding cup with a baton).
