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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Why? I've known several people who do this, it's totally fine. I'm sure for some people it would leave you with really greasy hair, but otherwise what's the issue? It doesn't smell or anything if that's your concern.
Hygiene, my friend. Hygiene matters. People have been washing their bodies and heads for thousands of years, even many animals do that.
With water, not shampoo. The first shampoo seems to be from 1930. It's a marketing scheme to sell crap you don't need.
No, that's some conspiracy theory. People were using all kinds of soaps for washing in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. Don't be dumb and disgusting.
Shampoo.
Yes, but hygiene does not always = soap. Everyone's needs are different.
There are different soaps. Please educate yourself.
