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’t imagine having them intentionally leak into the body being safe.

I mean, cocaine isn't safe for the body either, but try telling that to a big breasted stripper while she's punching you in the face with double D's.

Lots of people make risky decisions...

But in this case it's pretty safe. Ruptures are so common the filling is just as inert as the membrane.

Theyre filled with saline so technically theyre safe. The issue is that most of the time they are not filled properly. Theyre left with a small air gap or have high amounts of oxygen in the saline. This means you can transplant bacteria or mold spores into the saline. Once the implant is sealed, this leads to a contained anerobic environment. This results in an implant absolutely loaded with bacteria where the saline can turn brown and look like apple sauce, or a moldy implant where the saline can turn black or green and become quite firm. If you pop either of those, you die.

Saline filled implants are different than "silicone" implants (even though they both have silicone - "silicone" implants are filled with a silicone gel, saline have a silicone exterior that's filled with saline).

Saline is the older type and are becoming much less common these days.

They both eventually fall down. It's pathetic. Itty bitty tiddies are 4ever.

Well, that is going to stick with me.

Incredible this is legal, and women pay money for this because of come bizarre US fetish with sacks of fat.
