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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not really, the brain has no pain receptors, headaches are in the muscles surrounding your head instead.

As for tips for having a headache? Repeatedly hit your head very hard against the wall, you're guaranteed to get one. /s

And the fact of the brain having no pain receptors was established via a full catalogue of the cells in a person’s brain? Or what?

I don't know, I'm no doctor. But ask any doctor and they will tell you the same.
