A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Towels should have labels (colour coded even) on each side and quadrants to show which part wipes your face, which part wipes your body, which part wipes your legs and which part wipes your ass. We are all mixing it out there.

If it matters, you're showering wrong

Dear young men who listen to too much Rogan and are hopelessly obsessed with the toxic bro-sphere. It's not gay to wash your ass.

Lol I feel like some popular YouTuber needs to make a video on how to shower properly so these kids can learn what the fuck they are doing

There's an ADHD influencer that teaches people how to bathe properly. She teaches a lot of different things, but I distinctly remember being surprised by that one.

Literally nothing is stopping you from buying color towels and using your own system...

Towels magically clean themselves between uses.

Alternative: use a hand towel. Used wisely it can dry and scrub you nicely, then directly into the dirty clothes basket.
