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

Hair probably had an important function at some point in human evolution but now it's mostly cosmetic (lemmy.world)

My husband says he used to have "a swimmer's body," smooth and hairless. But he's 55 now so...

He's got hair in his chest, belly, back, and shoulders, and it's spreading.

Every few months, I pluck the hairs out of his ears. It used to be just one or two but now it's a couple long thick ones and a few small curly ones from each ear.

About a month ago, I noticed he's also got a couple of long wild strands growing out of the peak of each eyebrow.
