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.

Find someone who will install a Japanese bath in your house.

This turns the whole room into a waterproof shower stall in which a tub is optionally placed. So you can just walk into that room and stand wherever you please.

I have one of those. Having water everywhere, especially when it's hard water, isn't as much fun as it sounds.

I feel like I'd be cold all the time. My shower is tiny but it gets nice and steamy-warm

These suck in winter. Drafty.

Put the exhaust fan on separate switch and don’t use it while you’re in there. That’s what I’ve been doing, most Japanese baths are wired that way.

Older Japanese construction can have a small window to the outside to help with ventilation. The only reason it would be drafty is if that window is open/won't seal properly or if the fan is pulling the heat out too quickly.
