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

Thoughts during my 3rd cold shower of the day, trying to keep cool in this muggy weather in the North East

Currently looking into getting a Sphynx and this is literally the number one surprise/complaint from people. They stain your clothes with their oils so you need to watch them weekly. Personally I don’t mind and am excited to have my naked hairless friend.

I look at my cat everyday and it's not a Sphynx.

Horses sweat... It blew my mind when I discovered that first hand.

Oh yeah, great moment for me as well. „Can you hold the saddle for a moment?“ and it was so heavy, wet and smelly.

That’d be gross. But dogs actually sweat through their paws if you didn’t know!

That reminds me of when I was little. We were taking our terrified cat to the vet and I sat with him on the back seat. Petting him, whispering encouragement to the poor thing.
Then suddenly I felt my hand getting wet. Refusing to believe what happened, I told my mom that the cat must be warm because he was sweating all over my hand :p

I'm glad our dogs and rabbits are not sweating like we are.

No. Just no. I prefer to think happy thoughts, thank you very much.
