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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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 wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

Just another reason the bum gun is the best choice.

Ok so apparently everyone here has a bidet? What’s a cheap bidet to start with?

Over here you can get quite nice aftermarket upgrades for <€50. They're a good starting point, even if I'd later switch to higher quality and most importantly more lasting solutions.

Seems like a poor design ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One thing I've always wondered about bidets: where do you add the soap? If there's no such thing, then what makes bidets any better than using toilet paper? What's next, washing your hands without soap?

Personally I rather just risk plumbing issues with butt wipes. And for those particularly nasty shits, I can always hop in the shower and do a quick detail on my asshole with the showerhead and some body wash.
