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.

Okay but how often are you touching your belt after you’re done in the bathroom and have washed your hands?

[–] TheAndrewBrown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cowboys do. They got their thumbs in their belts all the time. Maybe that’s why they’re dying out…

No, they are dying out due to late stage capitalism.

Give the belt a good ol' wet wipe swipe

[–] UnknownUniverse@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

god damn... now I am acutely aware about how much I should wash my belt...

I bet you think of this during shower.

How about the phone? No body washes their phone after pooping.

You guys don't take off your pants, even at home?

[–] aqf@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Interesting point. I have started not wearing belts, I just choose pants that fit and the shirt is big enough to cover the belt area so nobody notices. And then the belt doesn't get caught on the shirt... and it doesn't get icky. Win win!
