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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back up to rinse.

Plus, water is damn expensive!

Who here really has the time to stand, think and waste in the shower?

No amount of infrastructure fixes a drought lmao

Yes they do. At least they're working on it, like more and bigger basins, less waste and spilage, better throughput, etc.

And then you get a drought that lasts longer than your infrastructure is able to handle and you're still fucked

There has always been a margin for failure, but the margins need to change with climate change and that is something they're working on all the time. At least where i live.
