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

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

My grade school had a dress code, and one part of that dress code was that for the winter months, boys had to wear pants, not shorts. The girls could wear skirts on any day.

Well there was a heat wave and we asked multiple times to wear shorts and they told us no... so we collected as many skirts as we could and most of us came in athletic shorts with a skirt. Technically in dress code becaure girls were allowed shorts under their skirts. Rule was changed the next day.
