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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Why don't women just buy men's clothes to wear? I don't see any social stigma against it. Honestly I don't understand why clothes are still gendered. It's 2023, just wear whatever clothes is most useful to you.
Body shapes are very different. If you're a man go try on women's pants or coats and see how they fit.
Men are generally larger in size so it's harder to fit clothes designed for Women, who are smaller on average. Women on average are not as big as the average man, so shouldn't women be able to fit men's clothing?
Sorry if I'm being ignorant.
Women are smaller, but they tend to have relatively bigger bottoms. The shape of men's pants just doesn't work.
exactly. some women have extreme hip to waist ratio and straight cut jeans will just look baggy, odd, or just generally said: They won't fit at all.
Mens pants have the crotch cut too low for me. So to step over something I have to do a wide legged cowboy walk and swing my leg over. Shit's weird.
I'm a dude but I've noticed that this depends on the brand. Some have the crotch like 3-4cm lower than others even for the same "size". I've also had to do this cowboy walk in some pants...
The ones with the higher crotch are less comfortable for men (for obvious reasons), but it does make it possible to do ballet-like leg movements instead of having to do the cowboy walk. So they do exist if you look for them
The bigger issue will probably be the hips to legs ratio being different
