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.

No filters at the house, have never even considered house water filters until those door to door (I call em scammers) came around selling house filters. Our city proper doesn't need em which is why I say scam.

The citys last report shows pretty low levels of bad stuff across the board and it's very soft water. Showers elsewhere feel weird..lathering soap is 'harder' and I feel like I'm extra dry while showing in hard water? it's weird to explain.

  • 30 mg/L (ppm) of total hardness
  • Total Chlorine 1.88 mg/L 1.72
  • Fluoride 0.68 mg/L 0.52
  • Boron mg/L 0.0056
  • Cadmium mg/L 0 0.005
  • Chromium mg/L 0.0001 0.05
  • Sodium mg/L 12.0
  • Fluoride mg/L 0.68
  • Nitrate mg/L 0.18
  • Haloacetic Acids* mg/L 0.027

Anything not listed is zero, and all are below our provincial standards
