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

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Not really! I could wear blue jeans and a mens t-shirt and not have to worry about negative reactions. Women’s suits are really common, especially in professional settings. There’s not much I’d be afraid to wear in public. Worst case scenario people would think I’m depressed or sick, I guess.

Yeh. But if you wore budgie smugglers at the beach, you may catch some glimpses. Or be arrested.

Too many budgies, not enough smugglers. Bound to get caught.

Here’s our ex prime minister, smuggling a budgie.

Ok. Thank you. Not a look that works for everyone. Apparently there's an Australian swimwear company with that name. Funny how their womens suits are pretty modest and the men's suits just kind of put it all out there.

I’ve seen some pretty immodest women’s swimwear haha.

Yeah. I'm pretty agreeable to people wearing what they want, but i was a little surprised by mid-day streetwear in Miami.
