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-----

We never knew. Fortunately electric tootbrushes saved us.
When I was a kid, we had regular visits at school from some kind of dentist group. They would show us how to properly brush and floss, and handed out free toothbrushes.
One thing to note, if you find flossing very difficult, like you have to use a lot of force to put the floss in between your teeth to floss, your teeth may have spacing issues and you might need braces.
I know this because as an adult I got braces and then all of a sudden I found it incredibly easy to floss. It's like 10 seconds and my breath smells better and my gums are healthier because it is easy and convenient to floss now.
