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

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

Every phone call you make with just the mic near your mouth and the speaker near your ear, you are having a conversational 69 where both of you are placing your mouths next to each other's ears. (lemmy.ca)

Every phone call you make with just the mic near your mouth and the speaker near your ear, you are whispering into the ear of the person you are calling.

If the person who answers with the mic near their mouth and the speaker near their ear is doing the same thing. It's like having a conversational 69 where both of you are placing your mouths next to each other's ears.

It sounds sexual and sensual if you are talking to someone you might be interested in ... but it gets a bit awkward if you imagine doing this with a random stranger you would never usually want to get close to.

A phone call isn't sexual by definition. You're talking to each other's ears, not tonguing them 😂

You’re talking to each other’s ears, not tonguing them

Shrews were tamed like this.

Yes a call or a even a regular talk with someone in the normal sense is not sexual at all

But if you both lay on the floor with your heads next to one another in an upside position from one another ... where you placed your mouth very close to your listener's ear and they did the same to you ... and both of you are so close that your cheeks touch one another as you talked ... you might not be tonguing their ear but you are close and intimate enough that it does become something else and may even start becoming something close to being sexual or sensual.

It was just a silly thought and image that came to me the other day while talking on the phone .... we're basically whispering into each other's ears when we use a phone in the traditional sense.
