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-----

MODERATORS
I smoked for about 10 years and replaced that with vaping. Then I replaced vaping with chewing gum in January.
I chew 2 pieces of Extra 6-7 times a day and Blockheads multivitamin gum twice a day.
I also carry strips of foil I can spit into if I'm at my desk or not near a bin.
I bet you could crack open a jawbreaker with one bite with those jaw muscles.
That's interesting though, have you noticed any changes from that amount of gum?
No, but it's only been a couple of months.
Plus I'm single right now, if you catch my drift.
Nice
I went to school with a girl who chewed gum everyday, she ended up in hospital with a stomach ulcer.
When you chew, your brain sends signals to your stomach to produce acid to break down the food that is incoming, but if you don't actually consume food, the acid will just continually build until there's a problem.
Basically just saying be careful, though I'm not sure if there is any warning signs you can watch for.
