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

Are they harmful? why do we remove them? is it just conformance based or are there actual good reasons?

They are just lumps of fat, not real tails, they are removed for cosmetic reasons

I'd imagine comfort reasons also. Hell having a dick can get uncomfortable at times. Like every time I wear pants that are just to tight for a long bike trip it gets twisted around and bent into kinks. I can't imagine having what is comfort wise a second dick on the other side of my groin and pointing down. I can see that pinching itself every time you run or sit down. I really hope there aren't any nerves in them.

I imagine you'd either have to sit on it, which is probably painful (maybe likely to even break it), or wear modified clothes and dangle that shit free for the world to see. Personally, I wouldn't like either of those options.

Not to mention shitting on it by accident.

Or baptizing it in the toilet..

I hate when that happens to my dick.. feels forever unclean. Even worse when it touches the bowl...
