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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? (sh.itjust.works)

I've had this happen to me. I suspect it's one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes. He can sense when I post anything remotely respectful of women because his pee pee hurts. 😆

If true, I'd feel really sad for that person, in a go outside and touch grass sort of way.

Honestly, at this point I expect the large amount of downvotes for anything I post. I've had that happen to a post where I just said "Thanks" and nothing else. Its sad, and I'd wish the Lemmy admins would catch that sort of thing more often (understanding that they are volunteers, but still), as it doesn't make my experience here on Lemmy any better than when I was on Reddit.
