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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Fluorine is really really bad for your lungs.
Well, never mind then.
I think anything with nicotine in it is bad for you
Nitpick, but it doesn't always have nicotine. Not to say it isn't harmful.
My two concerns are that, you wouldn't hold the vapor in your mouth long enough for it to actually be helpful, and with some people vaping occasionally, and others doing it constantly, it would be difficult to keep the fluoride levels high enough for casual users to get a benefit, but low enough that all-day every-day folks don't OD.
If it's not oxygen it shouldn't go in the lungs. Full stop.
The 78% nitrogen hanging out in the atmosphere begs to differ
You can also breathe in smoke, that doesn't mean that you should. Can and should are the keywords here.
So you're saying that I shouldn't breathe in nitrogen? There's a thing called "oxygen toxicity" which can be caused by breathing pure oxygen and so actually breathing things other than oxygen is vital to our health.
Ok.
No.
Interesting. Do aerosolized fluoridates adhere to teeth?
