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.

As much as I hate splashback, I just cannot agree with this. Even if it's while I'm already showering... ain't no way. Why can't so called "modern" housing just invent a decent bathroom for humans with dicks? How is it that I can piss without concern at a fucking Dave & Busters but in the privacy of my own home, I always have to try not to piss on the floor by accident? Seriously, this shit can't be that hard to figure out.
My mother in law used the old English saying to explain an uptight / unfun person "they don't even pee in the shower" in conversation. My mother was incredulous "WHAT? People pee in the shower?!" the other dozen people in the room were like "um, yeah, that's normal" and she instantly thought we were all gross, and then switched to being extremely called out. That was a fun Christmas
You do you but I'll never have showerpissers under my roof.
It's better to piss in the shower than to shower in the piss.
It's better to shit in the sink than to sink in the shit.

Truly a showerthought. Not a good one but it involves showering.
Pissing in the shower makes it smell like a urinal.
Top tip: turn the water on.
drink more water and it won't. your pee should not have a strong smell unless you are dehydrated.
Asparagus would like to speak with you.
I eat asparagus like once a month. Do people eat it everyday or something?
Some foods/drugs can make it stink no matter what. For example i can always tell when I've had caffeine as it has a distinct smell in my urine.
I prefer not to get piss on my legs, but you do you!
Wide stance? Pop a squat? Immediately wash any spillage?
I guess if I didn't have a dick aka piss gun I'd probably agree.
I don't shower 4-6 times a day.
Nobody said anything about taking a shower.
I drink a whiskey drink, I drink a vodka drink
And when I have to pee I use the kitchen sink

Pooping in the shower is 1000x worse though.
you can shit in your hand and throw it in the toilet from the shower 👍
That's a 2.5m throw for me, without my glasses. That's some Olympic level feat.

Ctrl-F "waffle stomp"
Ah, there it is...
I knew this would be here but to this day I've just never understood the appeal.
Wouldn't the stench just be overpowering? and linger?

Toilet is easier to flush. Unless I'm actually showering at the time, I'd much rather use the toilet than the shower.
Of course it is, if you enjoy the scent of hot steamy piss.
I stay very hydrated so it doesn't smell
nobody puts their bare feet in the toilet. eww.
