Is it possible to take a bath without soap and water, without taking off your clothes. I've been trying to figure this out for ages, but just can't get the hang of it.
I'm lazy as hell and if someone would invent a human washing machine I'd be the first in line to buy it. Some dry cleaning sort of thingy that's suitable for humans.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean. Where I come from, that could mean several things. So you'll have to be a bit more clear. Please pepper your comments with relatively sensible speech.
I always expect, at the minimum, a clarity of thought and a brevity of expression from my peer group.

Do you have any idea about the market potential for an automatic bathing machine? Obviously not.

If you're too lazy to take your clothes off when having a bath then you have some serious issues.

Make one yourself, reproduce it, then let us know how many you sell.

What is happening to Geek Culture at the moment? Its gone all strange....


I just don't see why you would want to take a bath in all your clothes. Surely it would take more effort in the long run to dry out the clothes etc?

Check out Cash, with the superiority complex.


However, this is easy to accomplish. You simply need to build a teleportation device and when you are reconstituting the signal, simply remove any unwanted dirt and grime. Simples.

There has been some research that proves that in our germ free super clean lifestyles, our bodies become more susceptible to infections and viruses. This is because in the past there wasn't as much focus on spraying everything with detergents and the such. So our bodies used to get a regular dose of germs and our immune system became stronger because of this. Now we have very little germs invading our bodies so our immune system sits back with it's feet up, whilst the germs we do get go to town.

That's not to say I recommend poor personal hygiene, I'm merely pointing out faults in our modern way of living. But cash is right, the females tend not to be attracted to blokes who shower once a week or something. Unless of course you are trying to attract females who don't wash either.

I agree with monotonic, wouldnt it be alot better if everybody was just walking around in the streets naked, and if nobody ever showered so we smelled like poo

I blame mothers - these new mums that go around thinking there Angelina Jolie, kids immaculately clean and carried all over the place. Kids need a place of their own where they can get mucky, in piece and quiet. I was quite lucky as a kid, stayed across from a few acres of dumping ground, everything form dead dogs to slot machines.

It's where most of my scars come from, and maggoty cats and dogs are not the most pleasant things to uncover - but, I very rarely get a cold .

Let me enlighten you then by doing some quick market research.
How many would rather have a sci-fi dry cleaning thingy that just zapped all those dirt balls on your body in a nano-second?

I'm a virgin alright. If you don't count Miss. Joan and Laura and Emily and...
Contrary to popular opinion a lot of earthy women can't stand men who smell sweet.

@Cash
Do you also use lavender talc after you bathe?

Quote: "I agree with monotonic, wouldnt it be alot better if everybody was just walking around in the streets naked, and if nobody ever showered so we smelled like poo "


Yeah. I especially like the walking around in the streets naked. Then you'd just need to zap the dirtballs on the skin. Maybe, if everyone gathered around in the morning and a big giant zapper would shed some ultra-violet radiation. Of course there would be more fornicating on the streets and people going home with huge complexes after seeing Mr. Jones starkers. Huge complexes. Har,har.

I'd settle for one that actually got you out of bed in the morning, clean, shaven, hair combed, stringy-crispy bits dug out of eye corners, and ears dried out with cotton buds for good measure.

Nothing like that would ever happen though, all that stuff is only developed to help women, and they just couldn't care how quickly they get showered - there's no such thing as 'that'll do', things take as long as they take.
I mean can you imagine inventing something that gets women ready in 10 minutes?, then try selling that to a woman . Men would be buying it left and right, meanwhile their wives would be banning them from installing it.

Yeah. Handwriting Recognition patents. All my time and money wasted. Bathing machines is what the world wants. One thumbs up.
Enough votes and I'm going to start work. Would any of the folks care to pre-order?

I'm going to need some guniea pigs. Human volunteers would do just fine.
The reference group will have to go without bathing for 24 hours during which time they will be bombarded with delicious UV rays. Next a group of normal bathers would be lined up against a wall with the reference group.
A hoity-toity uptown girl would be unleashed on the group, with instructions to ravage all men but one.
When the dust settles, if a man from the UV group is standing I will return back to the drawing board. On the other hand if one of the lavender talc men are left standing I will go into full production.

Both. A blank cheque with no money in the account isn't going to get me too far into production.

I'm sure that whoever was first to spread AIDS is very offended by that, MIDN90.

On a side note, I wish that I could shower for a good two hours a day, every morning. It would make life so much better.

Sadly, I barely get 45 minutes a day without being late for school.

I enjoy a good bath or shower, but I would be interested in purchasing a massive wind tunnel style blow dryer. Drying is the most tedious part. So perhaps a Rolls Royce jet engine mounted beneath the shower (I would obviously need a vented grate at the base), which I can switch on and get blown dry.

If offer 12 English pounds for such an invention.

@ MIDN90: I think you should get at least a SLAP or a 1-hour ban. It's not a good idea to mock and crack jokes about HIV/AIDS; it is a very srious virus and can possibly wipe out the Earth's population. It is not a joke, so just stop it before I report you.

Ontopic, I think showering with clothes on is a nice idea; you could sleep while a waem mist hovers over you. Mmmmmmmm, mist.

How about a machine that measures relevance, and turns your computer on for a given period of time each day, depending on how you use it? Like if you make intelligent, relevant, meaningful posts, you get more time. Likewise if you post silly things like.... Oh I don't know, maybe "I'm lazy as hell and I want to take a bath without soap and water, without taking off my clothes", then it takes time away. That would save time and be of great use to many.

If we could do that, perhaps we could somehow apply it to other problems as well, like traffic and public speaking.

Best.

I think men should not have to spend more than 5 minutes on their hair, in total. If you spend more time in front of the mirror than your sister or your girlfriend, you have issues. Myself, I don't even brush my hair

I don't brush my hair. Well, not with a brush anyway. I usually run my fingers through my hair to make sure there's no knots in it after I've washed it.

LOL

Actually I've been tossing around a few ideas. Tossing around!Har.Har

A clothes washing machine which is large enough for a full grown adult. Just erase the spin dry code sequence from the EEPROM, so you don't feel too dizzy at the end of it all. Once its done, remove your clothes which have also had a nice thorough washing.
Of course this is the water and soap solution.

Initially I thought of a thin latex suit similar to a contact lens that allows oxygen and other essential gases through and keeps the dirt out. Of course I'd have to first do a patent search and make sure Durex hadn't been to the patent office before me.

I was thinking more along the lines of the material used by Durex, which is durable enough to be exposed to any rough impact or friction.

Hey tough guy, you should have your arse banned for not knowing how to read. Where in any of my posts did I make any references to AIDS, or HIV? No where. Maybe next time you shouldn't jump to conclusions just because someone makes an assumption that I did (Xenocythe). I made a friendly joke reference to Cash, and somehow you felt it was important for yourself to get involved.

Dude, nothing I posted had anything to do with Xeno's claim about AIDS... Get facts for yourself, not on what other people claim. You don't assume everything you hear/read is true right? Then apply that to this.

Don't try to make this difficult. Private immediately assumed I was talking about HIV/AIDs, when there was nothing I posted related to that. All he's trying to do, is pick a fight.

Maybe we can all go chill in the shower together, and have it be okay because we will all be fully clothed.
