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 wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I'd love to try, but my legs are hairy and I'd hate to walk around with my underwear exposed, it's like walking with your fly open but like worse. Idk how girls do it but i respect that.

My shitty lifehack is tan colored gym shorts that look like khaki shorts. I can wear them with a polo and they're comfy as hell

It's pretty fucking rocking having "man" privileges overall. I'd say this one evens it out a bit. I'm work from home and usually am in just shorts and it's fucking awesome.

Pants are the worst.

[–] ShooBoo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I am honestly not a happy man if I can't walk around in board shorts with no shirt all day long.

[–] darkseer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The only pants I really object to are jeans. They're hot and sticky in the summer and cold and stiff in the winter. Slacks are the way to go.

Just wish they made cargo slacks.

Would be nice to wear ball gowns all the time. Sadly it's not possible as a guy.

Men, let me introduce you to sarongs. My cousin was roommates with a Ukrainian guy and after he tried wearing it he basically got converted. He bought a dozen to be brought back to Ukraine. With the conflict going on I hope he's safe now.

I read this and immediately thought of anprims for some reason.

This is why I am nude 100% of the time.

Any links to dress fashion for men?

I’m all for it. I hate wearing pants in the summer, but we’re not allowed to wear shorts. However, no one can refuse me wearing a long skirt or dress!

[–] LChitman@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Why arent you allowed to wear shorts?

I used to feel really sad about having to wear pants all the time. Some might have even called it dysphoric.

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Stop normalizing everything just do what you want it doesn't have to be normal. I like wearing track shorts, they're comfy.

[–] yerbuddyboston@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m all in favor of this. Now we just have to get everyone else on board. And like others have said, find dresses that actually look good on men. I (m) have been trying out dresses for a while and finding something that looks good on me is a challenge.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Even shorts would be a great first step!

@atomicorange I've been kilt-only for two years now and the very idea of ever having to wear trousers again is outright horrible.
I've also tried skirts, dresses. and women's things in general but holy crap most of it is just wildly uncomfortable and not remotely functional. The entire Western clothing industry is caught in a serious rut

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got it. Utilikilts for all!

[–] Walop@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

This. Not Scottish, but I wear a kilt whole summer everywhere. Fortunately our company does not have a dress code at the office.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Was hot enough the other day I pulled out the ranger panties at work, no shame. Those are good enough tbh!

[–] djflusso@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Keep paving the way!

[–] d4bn3y@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I like pants ?

[–] Schart@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Skirts, dresses, capris, shoulder length sleeves shirts... I'm over here suffering in long pants and long sleeves all summer.
