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.

Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

It doesn't even have to be a finger. There are so many underused parts of the body

Any nipple can be a magnetic antenna

I have nipples, Greg. Can you make me a magnetic antenna?

Would be handy for attaching your name badge, or if you need to put those little hard drive screws somewhere so you don't lose them.

That's actually a good idea.

Does the space cold

Make your nipples go pointy, Bowie?

Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae

Finally mens nipples get something to be useful at.

I vote for mens liberation and rights for magnetic nipples!

With my luck I'd get stuck to a steel chair

[–] Guilvareux@feddit.uk 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Never lose a game of musical chairs tho

[–] TheSaus@lemmy.fmhy.net 3 points 11 months ago

You stand up and the chair sticks to you like a gmod model

Don't be gross tammy

Probably shouldn't put any at the base of your penis, women with piercings might not enjoy it...
