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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Fan isn't fun and we aren't on c/windmillthoughts though.
A few months ago, I bought some fake/vegan leather shoes and they didn't quite fit. So, I figured, I'd try the old leather shoe trick, where you fill them with water, put them on and let them dry+shrink to fit your feet.
And it actually kind of worked. But I had decided to just leave them on for basically the rest of the day. And that wasn't a great idea.
My foot soles had soaked with water and gotten wrinkles that carved about a centimeter deep. Even after taking the shoes off, I was in pain for a few hours. It felt like the soaked skin was constantly pulling on my flesh, because their shapes didn't fit together anymore.
So, yeah, I imagine, the same would happen, if you bathed for 8 hours. You could somewhat mitigate it, by covering your whole body in vaseline or some other form of fat.
I guess, you could also try bathing in rapeseed oil or such directly...? I'm not actually recommending this, though. 🫠
Willingly giving yourself trench foot is wild
What heat? It is like 15 degrees in fucking July here -_-
Same mate, I was waiting for our traditional European summer heat wave and the Indians and Americans took it all for them :(
I'm holding out hope for another 2 days towards the end of August! We just gotta believe!
Lokal temperatur is not the same as global temperatures, it can be cold in one place and blazing hot in another...
No way, really!? I always thought it was simultaneously the same temperature everywhere!
That explains a lot, I am happy that I was able the help you.😎😄
My life has been a lie!
But seriously OP doesn't state where they are. You cant just presume everyone lives in the same place :p
I mean they presume that people experience heat. We all know the weather changes, it's a bit patronizing to be like "well u know its not always hot, on this post about heat".
We know lmfao.
Let me introduce you to the concept of sarcasm. It may be hard to grasp for some people, but that's OK love, I'm sure you have other strengths in your life. patronising head tap There there.
"but seriously" "It was sarcasm" Ok bud :)
No you called me patronising for referencing the fact it isn't hot everywhere in a post about heat. That part was the sarcasm yet you see it as "patronising".
Have a good day pal.
The problem is the direct contact to the water, a blanket with water running through it in a circle with a heat spreader or a different cooling device would solve that and would reduce the amount of water by a lot. The blanket would be a bit heavier but by that it would double as a weighted blanket too.
Instead of a blanket the same could be built into the mattresses, not really a water bed but a bed with water cooling.
Devices, for example computers, get cooled like that.
