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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Here is another shower thought. You touch things other ppl who don't wash their hands touch all the time... That is worse in my opinion. Because you can wash your hands before touching anything else (belt included) it isn't as easy to wash your hands everytime on the go. Corona made me very aware of this
The number of men that I see on a regular basis leave the bathroom after going without washing their hands is alarming. I'm almost old enough now to start calling them on it, but not quite.
Not sure if I am the only one, but ever since the pandemic, even if I step outside to get the mail up about 500' away , I just have to wash my hands immediately when I come in. Go to the store? I just feel really gross after. It's surreal. I guess I've become a bit OCD as a result.
You touch money all the time. Money is filthy, There's a 100% chance you've held a $1 bill that was in a strippers ass-crack at some point. Same goes for being used for blow.
I don’t know how true it is but here in the UK they say the majority of banknotes in circulation have traces of cocaine on them
Not sure where you are (lots of places use $), but it's been many many years since I used cash for anything, and it's probably the same for anyone below retirement age in UK/Europe?
Paying for something in a shop typically means touching your bank card against the payment terminal.
I live in Ireland and was fairly slow to adapt to this cashless mularkey but my mind was blown when visiting Germany how many places were cash only.
