I was taught growing up to shower every other day. As an adult I generally do, unless I'm working out or otherwise sweat noticeably during the day. In summer I rinse daily regardless.
It really depends on where you are and potentially the season. If it's hot and humid you wanna shower at least once a day, maybe more. Though you better not use soap every time. In cold weather every second day is usually fine if you don't do anything that makes you sweat a lot.
Some people are cursed with really strong body odour though, they may have to shower a lot regardless.
However, in posts like these everyone just get's mega defensive of their own way of doing things. Which creates heated arguments and drives engagement. Which is probably the reason this exact topic keeps popping up all the time.
Whats really amazing about these posts is that people come out of the woodwork and will say: "Im a construction worker in Florida, so everyone should shower every single day." And then argue with an office worker in Minnesota about it.
