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

- 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

My wife put one in her purse about 10 years ago. Since then, I’m sure we have removed five or six of these bars. It seems to be a permanent purse fixture, eternally at the bottom of the bag.
I'm more impressed by her having the same purse for a decade+
If you treat leather with respect and care it can hold a lifetime. My leather jacket easily nears the 10 year mark too with thr only damage being near the sleeves.
To be fair she spends shy of $1000 on a bag, but they hold up to abuse and seem to be nearly indestructible. I doubt she’ll need more than one or two further in this lifetime.
