6-2-1 rule
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
(Redirected from 6/2/1 rule)
The 6-2-1 rule is a convention hygiene guideline. The rule mandates the following:
- 6 hours of sleep per night.
- 2 meals per day.
- 1 shower per day.
These numbers are lower limits and not intended as upper limits. The third part of the rule is to prevent con funk - all parts help to avoid con crud and concurrent post-con depression.
History[edit]
The rule seems to have been devised by science fiction fandom. One story attributes its creation to Bob Passovoy, MD of the Dorsai Irregulars.[1] The rule has been in use in the furry fandom since Confurence.[2]
Parodies[edit]
At Anthrocon 2007, the Dorsai Irregulars proposed a new variation of this rule:[3]
- 6 miles walked per day.
- 2 snacks per day.
- 1 nap per day.
