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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I mean it's true, in the same sense that in some countries you don't flush the toilet paper as it will cause plumbing issues. It's all about design of the plumbing at that point, and in places where you flush toilet paper it shouldn't be that big of a concern unless they skimped on the plumbing.
Also as my grandma taught me, there is such a thing as a courtesy flush before ya wipe.
