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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Nah that's just what Maybelline want you to think, and you do think it, so they have won.

I haven't used shampoo on my long hair that is mid back length now. It's not at all greasy. It was for a month when I had short hair and gave up on shampoo.

Also I no longer have dandruff and my hair is more manageable, so I don't need product in my hair either.

I "shampoo" with conditioner once a week and just use hot water the rest of the time.

Waste your money on shampoo though, I don't care.

That sounds disgusting no matter how many times you want to say it's actually not that bad. I will fall for big Shampoo propaganda because I don't want to feel extremely gross. That's why I get my advice from people irl with healthy hair. I also suggest telling this to your barber next time you get a haircut.

That sounds disgusting...

Sure. I would have agreed before I knew better. To think you know better without experience though is pure ignorance. You can ignore people wit experience and keep listening to marketing all you want though. Whatever.

Also, my barbers always comment on how healthy my hair is and ask how I do it, and it takes very little effort to do (negative effort considering I'm removing something else).

Ok thanks for your baseless opinion. I'll bare it mind when I care very little about what you think.
