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.

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

Same, I went from drinking from friends glass to only do so if I felt "forced" as in it would be weird if I didn't haha And I have a "dirty" hand that can touch things and a "clean" hand that will only touch my stuff that I know is "clean". Corona really ruined me... But ppl still get corona so I don't want to just stop doing this either. My parents were out for a week not long ago because of corona, I am pretty sure I will react the same way and I hate being sick it cost time, boredom and money...
Public transport is the real killer for me. It seems bizarre to me now that there was a time I could stand on a bus or train and comfortably just hold the support handrail with a bare hand and not wash it afterwards or anything. These days I avoid them at all costs and still gotta carry disinfectant for mental health purposes.
