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

At a hotel (not as good of a clean)

Poop Juice, I’m glad you recognized, and seized the opportunity to secure a proper username while they were ripe for the picking. I salute you.

Also, this guy showers.

Midday after working outside and getting really dirty or sweaty, when it's still bright enough outside that you don't have to turn the lights on and the bathroom is only lit from the window, you're already so hot from working that the water has to start out lukewarm, and also you have a shower beer. My favorite kind.

And when you first get in, the water is noticeably warmer by the time it hits your feet because you're so warm. When your feet start getting the cool water, then and only then are you done.

Damn. You've really elegantly explained one of my favourite things. It's winter where I am, so I'm doing the 'more than one during the day just to warm up, temperature equal to surface of the sun' showers. Can't wait for the midday beer shower. So many months away.

Sitting down with hands over ears and water hitting head, contemplating the meaning of life.

This is my every morning shower for no less than 15 minutes. Somehow I come out ready for the day.

Shower outside at a beach house to clean off sand

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My dad actually installed a hot water line to the backyard garden hose at my childhood home to make it less uncomfortable to hose the kids down when we got home from the beach.

Cold shower for humid hot days, only to walk back out and get sweaty again

[–] DichotoDeezNutz 2 points 1 year ago

That happened to me when visiting Miami!

Pretty stressful if you’re a dinosaur

Camping shower. In a field with a swimming costume on, pouring a few cups of warm water over yourself.

The panicked whirlwind shower when you slept through your alarm and are now super late

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The steaming hot sick shower, when you are in the midst of a cold/flu and you just stand there with the water turned as hot as it will go, while you try to clear your poor sinuses.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It can help to drape a washcloth over the bridge of your nose to help keep the heat concentrated there longer.
