What are you trying to do when you say that, like a parent trying to make their child brush their teeth? Do you HONESTLY think anyone here isn’t aware that dental hygiene is important and hasn’t tried a billion ways (including begging and pleading with themselves) to get themselves to do this normal thing that normal people do with ease? Don’t you think the problem MIGHT lie elsewhere, in this community about a neurodivergence? Do you need to read up on what ADHD is?
i dont need to read up on what ADHD is, i fucking have it
just speaking from experience, getting called out on stank ass morning breath made brushing my teeth every morning a surefire routine I almost never miss, just trying to help you from what i already went through
no it doesnt and no i dont, youll have to be clearer than that. why is it bad to say? i think its worse going around with shit breath than to tell someone to remember to brush their teeth in the morning
I think it is probably a good idea medically speaking but you likely know that. I’ve got that down as part of my routine. But perhaps it would help to write a sticky note and stick it to something you need as part of your morning activities already. Of course you need to remember to do both things then and if you’re anything like me you’ll forget (what) to write (on) the sticky note.
I talked to my dentist about it years ago, and he said it’s not ideal, but flossing and brushing once is better than just brushing twice, and I should make sure to do it at night. I don’t as a matter of course brush my teeth once a day, that was just third on the list. Much more commonly, I forget to wash my face and I eat breakfast about every other day, which is probably more detrimental to my health.
I don’t really need that advice though. I was just identifying with the meme and I honestly take umbrage at the fact that someone comes to the adhd subreddit and suggests “just do it” when someone’s not asking for advice. It’s not helpful nor is it constructive, and they immediately started shaming me and others about it.
Breakfast actually isn’t that necessary as a meal, if you’re not hungry or you don’t feel the urge it’s okay to not eat and hold out for lunch with just water. When I eat breakfast it just makes me want to snack more throughout the day.
please start brushing your teeth in the morning dude
honestly cant believe the amount of gross fucks who dont brush their teeth downvoting me LOL
Hi, I too forget to brush my teeth but I downvoted you because you’re being patronising as fuck. Have a nice day.
whats patronizing by saying please brush your teeth?

Good job, this worked for you. It doesn’t work for others.
still no excuse to be rude and patronizing to someone trying to help
What you said boils down to “just do it”. You recognise why that’s a bad thing to say, yeah?
no it doesnt and no i dont, youll have to be clearer than that. why is it bad to say? i think its worse going around with shit breath than to tell someone to remember to brush their teeth in the morning
Oh shit, I just gotta start doing it??? I can’t believe you fixed adhd just like that.
Does Lemmy have a “Thanks I’m cured” community yet?
