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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Ballpitts are never washed. Not even once. However, some kids pee in there. This means there is a 100% chance that all balls in ballpits have been peed on, and not washed at some point. (lemmy.world)

Rotavirus immunity is partial. You only need to come in contact with a strain too different from whatever your vaccine or childhood exposure was and you'll catch it again.

I got the vaccine as a child, and yet I caught it in my early 30s for the first time after moving to another country. Have you seen The Exorcist? I didn't know projectile vomit was a thing for real until then. I also didn't know about projectile diarrhoea. I wish I was still ignorant of these things
