Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It's also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can't burn it, because it's already burnt

Reddit hasn't had a quality shower thought like this on the front page in years. Well done fediverse.

Any time I tried to post a shower thought on Reddit it was deleted because it either was posted previously (at any point in time, even if it was years ago) or was posted somewhere else online, not just Reddit, also at any point in time.

Nuts.

I might actually have to subscribe. I'm so used to avoiding the "default subs"

For what it's worth, half of them are essentially 'water is wet'. Although as far as thoughts in the shower go, I guess that's fairly reasonable.

I've seen a few great ones lately, but I've also been seeing a ton from people who don't understand the concept very well. Things like "it's not nice to be mean to people" or "there are more countries in Asia than China, Japan, and South Korea." I can't really say much as I haven't posted anything myself, but c'mon people!

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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
