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:
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.
For example:
Yes. People have a very disturbed picture of hygiene of their body in general. The genitals are one of the cleanest things on your body, by far - after a good scrubbing under the shower they get put into a (idealy) freshly washed piece of underwear, until the next shower. Your hands, hands, mouth, face, feet and legs touch so much stuff constantly. Phone screens are the dirtiest surface in your whole aplt, probably. Yet you'd rather lick that than eat a nice ass.
The genitals are one of the cleanest things on your body, by far...
I don't know if I'd go that far. It's not very open to the air (bacterial and fungal dream) and the anus is like right there. After a long sweaty day, shit migrates.
But I don't get the fear when using a towel immediately after a shower.
You are so wrong about my ass eating priorities
Username checks out thoroughly.

You think my hands touch more than my dick? Pssshhhh!!!! Yeah, ok. Shows what YOU know! Here, hold this........it's my dick.
once you fart the bacteria released largely spreads within that undergarment. Your genital areas are much less clean than you think.
I'm gonna guess you don't live in a hot country.
Given we learned way too many men think it’s gay to wipe your butt after popping
I very much doubt they’re washing their ass either
"I'd rather have an itchy asshole, skid marks, and a smelly ass than BE GAY, that's worse than any of those things!!" and then they wonder why they're single 90% of the time and if they ever get a woman it's from an arranged marriage.
We did? I thought it was like one social media post meme floating around.
This is unfortunately is a very real thing you can encounter while just dating random dudes
If it was fake so many women wouldn’t have personal experience with this
Like I said I’ve only ever seen the meme mention this. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen say this directly.
But if that’s your experience, that’s your experience. Im still trying to get used to the idea that some people apply bars of soap directly to their body instead of making a lather.
As a former massage therapist (not “masseuse”)… I’ve encountered dozens of men who would show up with a dirty ass. Skid marks when they get up off the table. WTF. Got expensive throwing sheets out.
Lmao wtaf
Besides myself I’ve met plenty of women who dated or were still dating men who don’t wipe their ass. It ranges from not wiping at all to barely wiping
And no, none of them had good high fiber diets or I wouldn’t have heard the stories to begin with
Wait.....I'm a guy. I wipe my ass. Am I supposed to be not wiping my ass? Is that a womens thing? Like crying at movies and drinking tasty mixed drinks, uh, I mean fruity mixed drinks?
Ok. Fine. I'll stop wiping. Maybe that's why I'm single. Women think I'm gay because my pants lack brown streaks.
I make the lather with the bar of soap. I rub it on me until I get the lather going. Then I stick the bar inside my butthole until I get a lather in there.
I poop bubbles, bitch!
It's obviously not gay to wipe your butt but every time you poop is excessive. Unless you have some kind of GI issues, once every ten poops is plenty. Anything more than that is just wasteful
Welcome to Lemmy, Ken M. You've been missed.
I hate that I actually can't tell if this is a joke
What?
That's why I have a poop counter so I can keep track
Sounds over-engineered, unless your “poop counter” is nine brown smears on the toilet lid.
That is some quality mild trolling, the best kind
Why not just start drying top to bottom, and completely avoid the need for the labels?
This helps only if you wash your towel after each shower.
People switch towels after every shower?
I've heard of people taking multiple showers a day, but not switching towels after each shower.
Nah, it forgot by the time it is dry.
if you have skid marks on your towel, you either need to wipe better or have constipation.
Or should find a new place to buy your towels.
Or stop leaving them out when guests come over. And also, get new friends.
I mean regardless of cleanliness I think most people would consider licking a finger they've scratched their butt with less preferable than licking any other finger even after having a very thorough shower.
This towel doesn't account for something like 90% of your body surface x)
There's this youtube video where a lady checks the bacterial density that accumulates on a towel as it is used for several days in a row: https://youtu.be/4NWxU5RIUnI
TL;DR is that it's completely fine for the first 9 days or so
