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:
- 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.

How can you tell the sexuality of a towel?
edit: I think some people thought I was asking about identifying the gender of the towel. As much as I never thought I'd have to write anything like this sentence: I was asking how to identify the partnership preferred by a towel, rather than anything to do with its hypothetical undercarriage.
I know it when I see it
Wow, toweldar.
If you notice they get wet before you've used them to towel off, congrats, they're into you. If they're dry as a bone when you use them, they're really not enjoying it, at all. It's not rocket science.
Ugh, I can't believe my towel is only into me after it's been used by my partner.
This might help determine whether or not they enjoy the company of a particular gender, but you couldn't use this method to identify, for example, bisexuality. Unless you take group showers, I guess.
Damn, I guess my gay bath towel just isn't into me. Whatever, I'm still gonna make him rub my cheeks.
In much of the world, they're all female: la toalla/serviette
I guess that doesn't really help with sexuality though
Still, I appreciate the revelation!
Lift its skirt?
Wouldn't that only tell the 'parts' rather than the sexuality, gender, and so on?
What are you, a communist?
That does sound like something a toilet observer would suggest.
