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.

"Oh we're out of shampoo AND body wash? I guess hand soap it is. 🤷"
Don’t do that unless you only do it once. Adding tap water to dilute your soap can cause it to develop bacterial contamination.
Dude this thread just keeps on giving.
you'll own nothing. not even your life. and the algorithm will make you happy.
.. only if you pay extra for a little happy time.
As a treat
"That's out too? Dish soap it is then."
I use bar soap for all of these things. 😅
Honestly, sometimes using just water is fine and good for your skin since soap dries it out.
Yeah I have to moisturise my hands every time after shower because my palms get dried up by soap
Any tips for moisturizers that don’t leave you feeling even greasier than before you showered?
