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.

My mother in law used the old English saying to explain an uptight / unfun person "they don't even pee in the shower" in conversation. My mother was incredulous "WHAT? People pee in the shower?!" the other dozen people in the room were like "um, yeah, that's normal" and she instantly thought we were all gross, and then switched to being extremely called out. That was a fun Christmas

I prefer not to get piss on my legs, but you do you!

Wide stance? Pop a squat? Immediately wash any spillage?

I guess if I didn't have a dick aka piss gun I'd probably agree.

Truly a showerthought. Not a good one but it involves showering.

Pissing in the shower makes it smell like a urinal.

Top tip: turn the water on.

drink more water and it won't. your pee should not have a strong smell unless you are dehydrated.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Some foods/drugs can make it stink no matter what. For example i can always tell when I've had caffeine as it has a distinct smell in my urine.

Asparagus would like to speak with you.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I eat asparagus like once a month. Do people eat it everyday or something?

It's better to piss in the shower than to shower in the piss.

It's better to shit in the sink than to sink in the shit.

It's all true!
