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

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

Definitely, I always ball mine up before tossing it so it’s a virtual certainty that man guys have handled my balls. I know it’s not everyone’s preference, they say you should just wash off the sheet, scrape off any large chunks and then lay it in the bin flat… I assume this is so they can easily tell if they are really just my balls or if someone might have hidden something like a half eaten burrito in one of their balls, which if I’m being honest, I have occasionally done but if that’s the case then I toss my balls in the trash can and not the recycling bin. I’m not some kind of monster! Nobody needs a load of rancid sour cream all over their hands just for trying to handle my balls.

It occurs to me that I really don’t know how many guys work in the recycling industry… it’s even possible the same guys have handled both our balls! Maybe there is someone with a weird fettish, and he takes a few balls home from work every day and his apartment is just full of other people’s balls… like, if you think about it —which I obviously do— there’s a non-zero possibility that our balls are touching right now and neither of us would ever really know.

Wow… that was a bit exhausting, I’m spent! I will be going to sleep soon and I will dream of balls all night long.

Good night friend. Hopefully I have answered your question.

You’re to kind. The insane ramblings of an insomniac ;-)

Oh yeah it’s really common. It actually prevents the meth from degrading the balls.
