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

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

That said does anyone have any tips for having a headache?

Edit: it turns out I have a fever

No ones suggesting ibuprofen or acetaminophen? It feels like theres this subsection of the population that's adverse to taking any sort of pill, despite these two being some of the most benign, well known drugs in this history of medicine. Yes, if you take a shit ton or take them for weeks on end, you could cause some damage. But for a headache? Sore muscles? Literally anything inflammation related? Just take the damn pill. Way too many people just ignore the obvious solution and keep complaining about their pain.

When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I was told by the nurse that I could just "take as much as you need" of ibuprofen.

I'm not over here downing bottles of ibuprofen, but you'd really have to go to town on those before you risk any damage.

I usually give them to my kids as a healthy snack!

I dont think we have a store that sells it nearby

Do you not have a store at all nearby then? Those are literally the most common drugs out there and almost every store should have them them. Maybe you're more familiar with their brand names, Advil and Tylenol.
