Story time: once upon a time, back when I was much, much cooler than I am now, I used to ride a motorcycle. I had this bad habit of riding with the visor up and no sunglasses. That is, until one day, a bug got stuck in my eyelid. I had to ride for 30 minutes like that before I got home and was able to wash out my eyeball.

Moral of the story: eye protection! Always eye protection!

Even with my visor down with a full face mask I had it happen once. I guess it came in through the neck somehow? I also had that fucker in my eyeball for like 30-40 minutes before I got to a gas station

Showerthoughts

42348 readers

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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
