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:

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.

Pretty sure they do actually! We were at the store once and saw some underwear with pockets. Looked like a neat concept.

That would be called shorts

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Shorts and boxers are fundamentally different and it’s not just because of the pockets.

The only real difference is the dick hole. 🤷‍♂️

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

People don’t run away screaming when I’m wearing shorts.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well yeah. There's no hole for your scary dick to peek out of. 😌

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Your shorts don’t have dick holes?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Only my jean shorts. My gym shorts and lounge shorts have no fly at all. I gotta pee like Butters when I wear those.

They're called pajama or sleep shorts.

Like one giant pouch on the ass to hold your bourbon while you're walking around your house pantsless?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I use this.

I either fill it with brum or brakda.

[–] toomanypancakes@crazypeople.online 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those are great for hidden soup, too!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah if you like burned nipples.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

Don't pretend like you don't.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Nah, you do it room temp. Nothing like some refreshing clam chowder on a jog!

[–] LeapSecond@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

More likely to happen than women's clothes with pockets

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They kinda do already. But it's just one and it's front and center.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My cell phone falls out of that one.

[–] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wrap your willy around it then

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My dick wouldn’t go around the narrow side.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Well wrap it length-wise like the rest of us.

This should be at the top since it seems to be what the OP wants.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

They do. My boxers have pockets.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You guys have enough fucking pockets, let the women have some

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There’s enough pockets for everyone.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

No according to Big Pocket there isn't.

But then you would have to lose the pockets on your pants! You would have to replace pants pockets with pass-through holes, so you could actually access the boxer pockets.

For a phone? Waistband tuck in the bikini bridge gets me by most of the time. But really, the solution for me is just keep some gym shorts handy.

[–] DougPiranha42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

But they already have!

  • place phone or other item to side of thigh lined up with bottom of the trunk
  • roll up
  • tuck rubber band under item

Done.
