I have never seen a more USian post than this.
Showerthoughts
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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
This - I'm in my forties, I have never suffered any of these conditions and I don't think any of my friends have either. What do you guys do to your bodies over there?
We either fry everything or drown it in some kind of sugar. If we’re not doing that, we’re doing both.
If only not becoming an adult would keep all the non-indigestion problems away lol
Yeah, no.
If you need to keep a bottle of Pepto close at all times, you're not old, you just need to change your diet. Figure out what you're eating that's doing that to you.
Everyone has different reactions and tolerances to different things. You need to know your own body.
I uses to be pepto bismol man. Turns out I just needed a lot more fiber in my diet
Age is not the issue. I'm mid 40s and never had to use it. I'd wager it's your eating and drinking habits.
What the hell is Pepto Bismol?
An anti-acid based product meant to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort
I haven't had to use antacids since I quit drinking, FYI.
I had brief time I might have needed it recently, but I think that was bad food.
Time to take a look at your eating and drinking habits.
What age is this supposed to hit? I feel grateful I have avoided this ailment as well as back problems. Although I have others I could yell at clouds about.
