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

The process of sweating is one you can feel, beyond just the sensation of moisture. I'm more surprised that there are people who can't feel the difference.

Also, sweat has a much different consistency than water.

TIL a lot of people can't feel themselves sweat if they're in the shower.

Maybe they don't take hot enough showers? I don't always sweat, but for sure I've noticed more from taking hot baths

It’s not about sweating. It’s about feeling oneself sweating.

I'm a warm, sweaty person. Maybe I sweat too often to notice it's happening. I do great in winter though and don't complain about 90F+ days under 20% humidity. Sadly, I live where summers are 90/90
