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!

Guys generally wear skirts or kilts in protest. We had a guy at work (US) wear his kilt a lot in the summer, as intended btw, as a protest for allowing shorts in a workplace that doesn't face customers. He got reprimanded exactly once. He is Scottish in ancestry and the kilt was real, although he also had one that looked like cargo pants too with pockets all over it.

I'm good with joggers.

There was a summer long ago I regularly wore a Sari going to the bar. Do it for work would be a bit of a stretch.

Would be nice to wear ball gowns all the time. Sadly it's not possible as a guy.

I don’t think anyone could get away with being that fancy all the time. We can dream!

I'd love to try, but my legs are hairy and I'd hate to walk around with my underwear exposed, it's like walking with your fly open but like worse. Idk how girls do it but i respect that.

My shitty lifehack is tan colored gym shorts that look like khaki shorts. I can wear them with a polo and they're comfy as hell
