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.

My mother in law used the old English saying to explain an uptight / unfun person "they don't even pee in the shower" in conversation. My mother was incredulous "WHAT? People pee in the shower?!" the other dozen people in the room were like "um, yeah, that's normal" and she instantly thought we were all gross, and then switched to being extremely called out. That was a fun Christmas

I prefer not to get piss on my legs, but you do you!

Truly a showerthought. Not a good one but it involves showering.

Pissing in the shower makes it smell like a urinal.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

drink more water and it won't. your pee should not have a strong smell unless you are dehydrated.

[–] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Asparagus would like to speak with you.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I eat asparagus like once a month. Do people eat it everyday or something?

It's better to piss in the shower than to shower in the piss.

It's better to shit in the sink than to sink in the shit.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 53 points 19 hours ago (14 children)

I don't shower 4-6 times a day.

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧™ it's what we drink™

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

yeah I drink at least 1 liter per day, my bladder is just that big, I once peed non stop for 5 minutes

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Not enough. Depends on weight but at the very least two. I drink four.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Also depends on activity level.

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 1 points 55 minutes ago (1 children)

Sure, but under two seems inadequate in any case.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 32 minutes ago

For sure. I probably drink 6-8L a day, but I'm on stimulants and have hyperhydrosis

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 77 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

Nobody said anything about taking a shower.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 41 points 19 hours ago

I drink a whiskey drink, I drink a vodka drink

And when I have to pee I use the kitchen sink

Pooping in the shower is 1000x worse though.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

you can shit in your hand and throw it in the toilet from the shower 👍

[–] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That's a 2.5m throw for me, without my glasses. That's some Olympic level feat.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

My issue is my poop is often not in a throwable state

[–] Janx@piefed.social 22 points 17 hours ago

Ctrl-F "waffle stomp"

Toilet is easier to flush. Unless I'm actually showering at the time, I'd much rather use the toilet than the shower.

[–] Chippys_mittens@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I guess to clarify I mean when you are showering.

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah. Keeping the shower on when you piss on the toilet seems wastefull.
