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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

I used to live with roommates and we'd occasionally walk around in our underwear. Sometimes I would walk around in my underwear with my pants around my ankles. It was hilarious how uncomfortable they would get, even though I was wearing more clothes.

Sounds like Gay Chicken

The socks imply being dressed without actually concealing anything, so someone wearing only socks isn't just naked but rather naked while intending not to be. It's like how lingerie is somehow more revealing than plain nudity.

Where you wear the sock(s) could be a factor.

This is the only shows I’ve watched several times all the way though season 1 to the end. Very re-watchable. Like Seinfeld or the office is for some people.

It’s also the perfect show to watch on an airplane. Very easy to pick up and watch.

I thought trousers were just an old timey way of saying pants

[–] zero_gravitas@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, in the UK 'trousers' means 'pants', and 'pants' means 'underpants'. Hilarity may ensue.

That would be hella weird as a guy

Yeah, they need ruffly panties under there for it to be normal.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

It would be hot.

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Even better

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

You must have forgot your cock sock. Common mistake, don't feel too bad.

[–] halfwaythere@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

An actual Shower Thought. Who'd of thunk!

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wearing nothing nothing but long pride socks in the house is the best, change my mind (you can't)

[–] notUboiii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

[–] Eylrid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you really want to feel naked put on shoes
