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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands (feddit.de)

As someone with a job involving regular public speaking before some potentially-sensitive audiences, I’m always afraid that some word I use will turn out to have a hurtful impact on people despite being completely innocuous to my ear. Thanks for pointing out another one to add to my “don’t say this word anymore” list! Potentially saved me some awkward conversations.
