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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Some appear to be holding their shit in until the next pandemic. Or to use it as a projectile weapon in the Mad Max apocalypse.

Yeah, this is shit, literally.

In my 2 person home, we go through a 12 pack in 2 weeks.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

I started tracking 2 weeks ago for fun. So far its 1 roll in 3 days avg for 2 people using this bathroom.

The result May change if you are using mega rolls or normal ones or w/e else is there.

When some finally got back in stock we got some but it was awful quality. We got some better stuff a little bit later. So we have a box of single ply in our garage still lol. I can't imagine using it now though, probably covered in cobwebs and dust.

Buying in bulk is a guaranteed return on investment, though. (And that's especially true in the Donald tariff era.)

Now imagine having to go through a roll a day

I would need an entire room full.

How little are y'all shitting?

Bidet users stocked up on TP during the pandemic?

You take a single sheet to dab water / double-check cleanliness.

Buddy you might want to go back and read all these comments in context real fast cuz you're missing something here.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 days ago

I reread the thread and I still don't get it.

Pretty clearly the post wasn't about bidet users, because bidet users taking a long time to use TP isn't noteworthy at all, so people replying that they use bidets is deadly boring.

What other context would I be missing?
