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.

Sure, I guess, in the same way that all the water in your body was once dinosaur piss

Spot the Americans, in Europe we are not burning metric tons of foreskin, we leave them attached.

then its even more likely as skin cells are sloughed off 24/7 and where do they go? everywhere.

...and then incinerate them at the other end of life.

We are all made of stardust. We have a little bit of everything inside of us.... Probably

Everyone's got a little dick in them

What if the amount of dick dust is what determines whether you're into dick?

"But I'll feel weird if my sons dick doesnt look like mine" most deranged reason to cut the end of a child's dick off

I want to do it so he has a weird dick.

Wait until OP learns about Blowjobs

Don't let them breathe when they're giving them, problem solved.

Male genital mutilation isn't really a thing where I'm from so I'd say probably not.

The elementary school I went to was next door to a crematorium. I have breathed in multitudes.

Is that why the back lot of the hospital smells so enticing?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why stop at breathing it in when you can rub it on your face. Foreskin skin cream is a real thing. Where else do you think all these baby foreskins go?

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

And now it all makes sense.

The really fun bit: in order to smell anything, you necessarily have to snort in molecules of that substance. It's a happy little thought whenever passing a sewage treatment plant.

Reminds me of Cassidy's foreskin musings in Preacher.
