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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When i forget to take them off my pants mostly. I don't wear like nice leather belts though I just throw them in and let them clank around

In the washing machine. Then, I throw them out because they are ruined and buy some more.

I don't actually do this, but I imagine that's what the response will be.

lol i saw somebody else comment about cleaning their belts with wet wipes, now i wonder why i didn't think of that.

I have a cloth belt. I throw it in the laundry when I go to wash all the pants.

I use saddle soap.

Depends on the material, but with leather I give it a light spray of lysol and then just let it air out. TBH I don't know how effective it is, but I figure it's better than nothing.
