Moisten, add soap, lather, inside hands, outside hands (left, right), between fingers, fingertips (left, right) wrists (left, right), rinse. You'll be hard pressed to do it below 20.
There's a swedish skier (iirc) that can do a complete shower in 5 seconds. Clearly you need more practice.

@Gribnit According to the CDC you should wash your hands for 30 seconds after a bathroom break.
Whatever happened to the famously robust immune systems of รพe olden times? I was being excessively obedient if I spent 30s on brushing my teeth.

You're not wrong. Following the original Portuguese, it should be the Amazon river and the Amazonian rainforest.

@Gurth I've heard Japan is like that too, as an explanation for why anime DVDs are/were so damned expensive.

Nonsense. It's a warrior woman.

@boomzilla giant kids were always better at looking like they caught air in photos taken riding by a ramp. Getting rid of them was the one good thing Reagan did.

I recognised almost everything before 1985, but much less for later years. Not sure what it says about me.
Also the last song should go in the "Things that remind you of WTDWTF members" threads.

I'd actually have to sit down and count to be sure, but I think I recognize a bigger portion of the post '85 stuff - I mean: I wasn't really exposed to that bourgeois, degenerate, Western stuff before late '84.
Still, I picked up most of the earlier stuff at some point in my life, so it's a tough call.

I recognised everything besides a few things in 81 and 87. But then all the best things come from the 80s, so I'm not too surprised.

I agree, teaching the masses how to play guitar really ruined music

My contention is that the publication of the well-temperament ought to have been prevented, as it released knowledge that should have been kept within the tuner's guild, thus commoditizing their services and enabling the present decay.
Even-tempered pianos are lifeless garbage enjoyed only by those with a better eye for authors than ear for music

@Dragoon said in The Belt Onion club:
I stopped listening somewhere in the mid-00s, when I realised that it's easier for me to recognize songs from the 80s than those. I put it down to post-2000 hits inevitably boiling down to CIBBS

The weakest years for me were 81 and 89. 83 and 87 I recognised every song, and all but one in 84, 85 and 86.
Some of the early 80s stuff I thought was 70s, and the Bobby McFerrin song I thought was from like the 60s not 88.

Now I wonder how many times I encountered this phenomenon back in the day.
-
@boomzilla Not really a music person myself so I can't say how much I recognize from when it was current (aside from We Didn't Start the Fire). But it's crazy how many I do recognize due to A) association with a movie/show/commercial/meme or B) still playing in Muzak rotations to this day.
