Showerthoughts

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:

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
  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.

Not really a shower thought, but a "spraying my hair with dry shampoo before a Teams meeting" thought.

A thing you spray on your hair that makes your hair less greasy without needing to wash it :3. I remember all the girls carried a can of it when I was in school

Think it's just cornflour and perfume?

Spray it on, cornflour sticks to all the grease and then they just brush it out.

Damn, Americans will put corn in everything!

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)

To be fair, corn is native to the Americas. And it can be made into virtually anything: food, fuel, cleaning products, even plastic (PLA).

But can you make love with it?

Oh people have definitely used corn for that. It is a phallic shape.

corn starch is what you put on silicone toys to prevent them from being sticky. so yes!

That's why they call it cornhole 😉

As if corn could ever love
Those sweaty ears only ever care for carnal pleasure and don't have an ounce of passion.

You can buy it everywhere in different flavours.

It's very useful for dog owners when you can't give it a proper shower. Dry shampoo and then brush it out.

Pro tip; do it outside. It's a mess to clean up indoors.

For bedridden ppl to have clean hair.
