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

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

Not if I'm wearing a crop top and my pants are tucked under my belly.

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

21 days of lurking.... And this is what you start with? God damn.

[–] Ikkou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago

Being technically correct beats lurking any day

Containment is not tucking.

[–] CascadianBeam@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Yeah, you’re not tucking around.

[–] JesusRat@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And your pants are holding up your belt... but your belt is holding up your pants... WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?!?!

Who is the hero here!?

People that tuck in their shirts creep me out

[–] SighBapanada@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will never understand how tucking in your shirt won out as the standard of professional dress. It's impractical and uncomfortable. Can we just like change this?

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 1 year ago

I've already started. They're not going to fire me over shirt tucking; my bosses are happy I'm even showing up in meatspace. And if we can get everyone's shirts back, who knows what's next?

Kinda looks weird if you're wearing a tie and you don't.

How about people who tuck in their jackets? Not enough people have seen this clip IMHO. How coked out do you even have to be to tuck in your jacket?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=w5_EIikdFr8&ab_channel=Valhalla80s

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Which is better? Piped, or PeerTube?

[–] frogfruit@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some people find it more comfortable than hanging fabric.

[–] Silviecat44@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It only makes sense in a professional/formal setting

[–] sycamore@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I don't wear pants when I'm in the shower.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's disgusting, what is wrong with you?

That makes me uncomfortable. Thank you.
