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.

People who haven't seen that video of a toilet flushing under just the right lighting, where you can see the water splattering everywhere. That's who.

It's the reason why I always hop in the shower and wash my ass with soap after a shit, cause not even a bidet will clean up that mess. Ever wonder why your ass cheeks feel wet after a multi-flusher? Cause they are.

Why would you flush before you stand up

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because I don't want to stand up with shit still sticking to my cheeks. I flush immediately to minimize the smell.

Wipe then stand then flush?

either you need more fiber in your diet, youre lying, or youre showering multiple times a day which is... wild

How many times a day do you take a poop?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Just once but it takes all year
