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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Could be considered damaging to the brand, which would probably be legally legitimate.
Also, it's just about the size and shape of the machines basically and they're in the same industries.
So is it really that different of an industry, or two sub-industries of like... plastics, in general?
You should only make toys meant for butt use out of platinum cure/medical cure silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Other commonly used polymers such as TPU and PVC will give you ass cancer.
That's a good note. Although you can of course use a condom, but yeah.
I think Tupperware makes glass containers with silicon lids as well though, so again... just shape and size, really.
Like would you consider farming corn to be a different industry than farming potatoes? Some of the machines are probably different yeah, but it's all "agriculture", innit?
I can't really speak from a position of knowledge on manufacturing TPU/TPE/PVC toys, but making silicone requires mixing two parts together and then casting your toys before they start to cure. I'd imagine Tupperware is an injection molding process instead. I have no idea how much machinery you could repurpose, though I'm curious to find out now
And corn and potatoes are farmed very differently, seeing as one is underground and one is not. Same industry, more or less, though. In my humble opinion.
I too might be interested. Someone should make a documentary comparing Tupperware and dildomaking.
I thought women said size doesn't matter? Hmmmm.....
Tbh for anal you can get enjoyment out of any size. I can take toys up to 8.5" in circumference, but still enjoy using my regular small human dick toy.
