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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You wear out leather belts? I swear I still have the same 3 leather belts I had 15-20 years ago

There's a lot of shitty "leather" belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather

Exactly. I have one really expensive belt my uncle gave me that I’ve been wearing since about 2012 and it’s just fine.

I have trashed several Walmart belts in that time.

I have a Dickies belt that has held up pretty well too.

And there's always that torn up section on the right hip where the tape measure goes

Get some dubbin and treat your leather products with it. They will last longer if they are treated right.
