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

Hair probably had an important function at some point in human evolution but now it's mostly cosmetic (self.showerthoughts)

As a bald man I can tell you that the hair on your head does A LOT to keep you warm. I have to wear hats all year round except in the hottest part of summer.

And in the hottest day you run higher risk of sunburn as the hair is not there to protect :(

That's part of why I prefer spray-on sunscreen.
