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

I feel like saying the full thing relieves some of the stress caused by said unfucked shit
There are studies, I think, about swearing out loud actually reducing the subjective feeling of pain or discomfort
It can also reduce stress
There's also a correlation with the sounds of said swearwords. Which tent to be more sharp and concussive. That's why "Fuck that shit" feels better than "Damn this mess"
My mom always said things like, "That guy is one tough motorscooter!"
That's why I like long drives alone
Oh there are studies on it, at least the only one that matters :p (Mythbusters e142)
