Showerthoughts

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.

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Even shorts would be a great first step!

I would miss my pockets though. Can I just wear basketball shorts everywhere?

One of my airbnb guests wears a kilt all summer. He says he is surprised more people don't because it is a lot cooler.

kil

I know a couple people who wear kilts (I think one introduced it to the other).

I know from wearing towels and robes that I would enjoy a kilt. Pants are great but they are less comfortable in the heat of the summer.

I don't really care for shorts since then I have to worry about matching socks.

Why would matching socks be an issue with shorts but not kilts? Also, have you considered wearing sandals or just buy a dozen of identical pairs of socks?

Shorts are also comfy though.

And easy to wear!

And I feel sorry for people who think it's okay to air these thoughts about other people in public. Strange. Stop including me and other guys in your obvious autogynephilia fetish.

First off, OP seems to be a woman. Also why do you give a shit if a man if wearing a kilt? Do you also scoul from across the coffee shop if someone is wearing shorts that stop above the knee? Nobody's forcing you to do anything

[–] Crunkle_Foreskin@kbin.social -2 points 2 years ago

Dress is a not a kilt, no problem with kilts at all and I've worn one before.

But please wear underwear, this ain't Europe
