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!

One of my airbnb guests wears a kilt all summer. He says he is surprised more people don't because it is a lot cooler.

kil

I know a couple people who wear kilts (I think one introduced it to the other).

I know from wearing towels and robes that I would enjoy a kilt. Pants are great but they are less comfortable in the heat of the summer.

I don't really care for shorts since then I have to worry about matching socks.

Why would matching socks be an issue with shorts but not kilts? Also, have you considered wearing sandals or just buy a dozen of identical pairs of socks?

Lol because my dumbass didn't add up that a kilt also exposes my mismatched socks.

Problem is I have a wool sock interest, so they're so expensive. My next batch of socks will be fruit of the loom 12pack though. I actually dumped all my socks out yesterday to take inventory.

I wear sandles but I find that I need to clean them all the time so they don't smell like feet.
