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

Maybe it's actually spelled menopaws because men can't keep their paws off us.

Or they named it after the Irish doctor who documented it, Men O'Pause.

This is fake news, he stole the research from Jane Menopause who goes uncredited to this day

Pretty sure it was named after the French village Mini-Opuasé where it was discovered in the 1800's.

It's a portmanteau of "Minnow Palls," because doctors used to believe it was caused by a cloud of small fish surrounding those experiencing it.

Don't associate men with us furries! We're way more respectful.
