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

Yeah you can, but it takes a conscious effort.

Interestingly enough, I've reached my wits end with paruresis (shy bladder) and have stopped trying to pee in occupied public washrooms entirely. It's pointless. I won't be able to go. But I did find that if I just go to the stall and pretend I'm taking a shit, the pee flows like wine. Doesn't matter if there's one or several people in there. The real struggle is when the bathroom is initially empty, so I think I'll use the urinal after all. You bet your ass thirty guys walk in before I can start.

I have a real admiration for dudes who just piss, shit and fart freely in a public space. It must be positively liberating. Like a pack of ancient kings, burping and laughing and feasting on chicken.

Some people can, and those people should not be trusted

I'm sitting on the toilet, I wish I read this about 2 minute ago

all poopoo times are peepee times but not all peepee times are poopoo times

I can do both, but why would I do either?
