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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Some used pumice (I think Lava Soap or something along those lines) but it's more harsh than the plastic microbeads OP is referring to.

I know St Ives uses crushed up walnut shells and apricot pits for theirs.

Can confirm as I am allergic to walnuts.

I have been using that stuff for years and I'm very satisfied!
