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.
Rules

Leather and steel are anti-microbial. If something does get on it, it won't survive for very long.
Neither of those are true. Some steel and leathers may be treated to make them anti-microbial, but they are generally not
Tell that to the mold covered belt I just found in my closet.
Do you live in a retention pond? How on earth does a belt get and stay damp enough to grow mold? How long has it been sitting undisturbed? I didn't know about leather being antimicrobial until just now. Even then, a moldy leather belt just seems wrong lol
All my leather jackets, belts, shoes get mouldy if left unused for some time. All you need to do is live in a humid country.. that'll do the trick!
