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.

This shit again? Pun intended. But JFC Lemmy is fucking obsessed with TP & bidets.

Mandatory PSA: Baby wipes clog up the plumbing system. Please don't flush those down a toilet. TP was designed to break down.

PSA Kleenex Australia sells flushable wipes

Update: After extensive input from public wastewater bodies and industry experts including Kimberly-Clark Australia (the maker of Kleenex® Flushable Wipes), Standards Australia published a new, AU & NZ-specific, Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022). The Standard details clear testing criteria that need to be met for manufacturers to use a “flushable” label in accordance with the Standard.

We welcome the introduction of the new Standard and are proud to announce that Kleenex Flushable Wipes meet and exceed the requirements of the Australia/New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022)

Right there with you.

Damn kids act like adults never considered it. Motherfucking kids go read some got-damn HISTORY once in a fucking while.

Neither existed for my grandparents.

People in the past had to put up with a lot of shit we don't have to today. Doesn't mean we shouldn't take advantage on modern luxuries. Your hemorrhoids will thank you.

I can only imagine the confusion your grandparents must have lived in, having neither toilet paper nor history.
