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

And you think if nudity wasn't a taboo people wouldn't be self conscious about anything (ie. their bodies)? Especially considering the acoustics in most showers (hint:even the people who normally can't hear you talk in your home can hear you sing in the shower). Especially considering people are self conscious as hell about their bodies even with clothes on?

A car is a much more private and safe space than a shower.

Not being a dick, just curious what your train of thought here is.

Oh, I see your point. I was thinking about how people have a lot of intense arguments in their head in the shower, and if they weren’t afraid to film themselves in the shower, they probably would do so in order to take those thoughts out of their head and put them into the world for discussion.

If they’re self-conscious about their body, as most people are, they probably would still use their cars lol

It must exist exist already. What would it be called: only fans where naked girls talk read out loud philosophy in a sexy voice while showering in a non-sexual way

I'm imagining an alternative version in which Slavoj Zizek completely ignores the fact that he is in the shower and just continues doing his usual thing

Most people also don't have a phone that could survive a shower intact. Or if they do, it's not worth finding out. Not sure about everyone else, but I don't generally risk bringing my expensive phone into the shower just for TikTok rants.
