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

Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? (sh.itjust.works)

I use bars of goat soap. It makes your skin feel really soft. I buy it at my local antique mall.

The problem with homemade soap like he was talking about is if it has too much potash left. Then it turns you into soap. Since you never know how much potassium carbonate any given plants will produce it's hit or miss.

I'm surprised there weren't any news stories this year of "mysterious burns on forehead" from ash Wednesday.

There is a local woman that makes and sells some home-made goat milk bar soap. She has a small herd of milking goats. It's quite nice and I buy a few bars from her during the county fair every year.
