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

Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

Any nipple can be a magnetic antenna

I have nipples, Greg. Can you make me a magnetic antenna?

Would be handy for attaching your name badge, or if you need to put those little hard drive screws somewhere so you don't lose them.

That's actually a good idea.

Does the space cold

Make your nipples go pointy, Bowie?

Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae

Finally mens nipples get something to be useful at.

I vote for mens liberation and rights for magnetic nipples!
