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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Hmmm there are quite a few of these... Ok these are UK/us mostly.
America: fanny - backside
UK: fanny - the other side (!)
America: rubber - condom
UK: rubber - something you use to erase pencil marks.
UK and others: Durex - Condom brand
Others: Durex - sticky tape
US: Suspenders - things for holding trousers up
UK: Suspenders - things for holding stockings up. Used with a suspender belt and with, or without, other underwear...
USA: Pants - leg coverings e.g. blue jeans
Most of the UK: Pants - things you wear under your blue jeans (unless ”going commando”)
What do they call "fanny packs" in the UK? Vagina pouches?
Bum bags.
...but nobody wears them since a very brief stint in the 80s.
Oh, they're coming round in popularity, particularly among Gen Z.
