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

They should have a trash can outside the type of public restrooms where you have to turn a door handle to get out so you can throw away a paper towel if you use it to open the door. (self.showerthoughts)

Even doctor's offices don't do it. I get that it could mean double the trash to empty if you have one both inside and outside, but just for the purposes of public health...

Whoever loaded the paper towels into the dispenser at some point had their dirty bare hands all over the roll, possibly after having just cleaned the toilets, so why not just get rid of the door altogether?

Get rid of the toilets too while you're at it! People urinating and defecating in a public space can't be sanitary! Do they even have someone to come in and fully clean and sanitize every surface after each person goes in there???
