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

Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? (sh.itjust.works)

Ahhh.. that whole, plastic seeps into your possessions thing... That might be the ocean, not the hot soup in your nalgene. Man.. there is a lot of macro in the ocean to break down. I've been following environmental news and science for almost 35 years and I keep learning new and exciting shitty things for the first time. It only gets worse!
