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.

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.
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.
No, sir!
You are so wrong about my ass eating priorities

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.
Let me know when my phone starts generating shit, so I can promptly light it on fire. Until then, I'll be over here making out with it. Come here baby, give me some of that nasty 5G wavelengths. Oh yeah, that always gets me going~ a little tongue in the USB port and 💦

Was it near X or Facebook/Instagram lately? There is lots of shit on there 🤣

Asshole is not clean dude. You fart, if you’re smelling it that is literally poop particles you’re smelling. Your butthole is not clean. Everything else sure.
Yes and no.
What you are actually smelling are mercaptans, specifically methyl mercaptan (aka methanethiol), hydrogen sulfide, and a few other organic compounds.
They are particles that came out of your ass. It’s not like you just magically smell fart when someone rips without something traveling from their butthole to your nose.
Edit: How in the world am I being downvoted for something that is unequivocally true. Mercaptans are particles. They come out of your ass.
I didn’t say they were dangerously or infectious, where the hell did you read that? I said there’s clearly stuff coming out of your butthole all the time, it’s not a clean location, no matter how much you clean it. Acting like putting some soap on it means it’s clean in an hour is completely disingenuous and scientifically inaccurate. And the example I gave was of one single thing coming out. If one thing is coming out then more is as well.
Huh??? What are you talking about?
No clue what the last of us looks like but you’re literally making my point for me. No part of your body is clean, arguing a fucking butthole is clean is absolutely insane and is in no way scientifically accurate. Yes, there is bacteria everywhere. There are poop particles everywhere. Ergo, there is poop everywhere. How the hell is poop getting everywhere if your fucking BUTTHOLE IS CLEAN????
Dude. I have zero problem with germs. I think we need to be washing our hands less. It’s causing us (verified with many, many studies) to have more allergies and be more prone to sickness.
I do have a problem with morons saying that buttholes are the cleanest part of your body and then suggesting to eat ass. It’s so scientifically inaccurate as to be insulting. You’re so far off on understanding my position (which I’ve stated numerous times now) I can only assume you are trying to misrepresent my position to make me look like an idiot.
You can fuck right off, thank you for nothing.
