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 read that if you see a mosquito biting you and you can resist the urge to swat her until she's done, you'll have less itch because she'll have sucked most of her saliva back out with the blood. But I haven't tried it
That would mean when they bite you during the night when they can take their sweet time, you would wake up with no itchiness, but that's not the case for me.
Maybe the nighttime suckers are kinky bastards who deliberately hock a loogie in you before they leave.
The huck tuah mozzies
Actually what you've got to do is pinch the skin around it, trapping its mouthparts, and violently blasting blood inside it until it's too fat to fly.
