Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

I honestly cannot fathom why people buy body wash... Shampoo is basically the same thing.

it's a bit more agressive IMO, it dries up my skin.

Yeah it didn't feel quite "right". More filmy, less moisturizing.

If you have conditioner it'll help with that. You can mix it in as you lather.

Anyway, scalp is skin, so if it's fine with your scalp it's fine on your skin. Your body hair will be happy too.

Guess I’ve never double blind tested them (would need to be careful with scents to avoid spoiling the test)

That said my perception has also been a high-quality moisturizing body wash is less drying than shampoo
