Kudos, that might be better than my first thought: canoen't

[-] iamanurd@midwest.social 12 points 1 month ago

Both are pretty on point

That was my first thought too though. 😆

Is that a nether-oar situation?

[-] darthelmet@lemmy.world 100 points 1 month ago

This isn’t a shower thought. It’s a bath thought.

I think I would like a bathroom that is also a keep. Think of the privacy!

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Two bathrooms or one giant one. Two, unless it really is a keep!

[-] aaaa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Communities aren't hashtags!

I used to bathe in the shower.

My parents were concerned about water usage and so banned baths. I, a stubborn teenager, just started using the dangling shower head instead of the bath tap to fill the tub. Presumably they knew, but they never called me on it.

[-] tibi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I just think bathing is a waste of time. I just want want to clean myself quickly and get out, I have better things to do.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Bathing as a teenager, I wasn't overly concerned about cleanliness or speed. I was more worried about hot water and laying down for a bit longer in the morning.

Now, as an adult, I haven't had a bath in several years. I've thought about it; standing, for me, is hard because I'm obese and have an old ankle injury that was repaired incorrectly. However, ultimately, I always end up going for the shower - because, as you said, it's more efficient - then trembling on the bed for ten minutes until my ankle recovers.

I agree, though. For effectiveness, go for a shower. For luxury, a bath might be appropriate.

And lobsters are mermaids to scorpions.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

A dam is the opposite of a swimming pool… maybe. Are you trying to keep water in or out?

[-] B312@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

A shower thought on showerthoughts??? Impossible

[-] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Showerception. Wait for the cold water kick.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

Upvoted because I genuinely lolled ad this.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

I couldn’t see your comment because of my “ad” blocker.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

You're adsolutely right!

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

It's been a while since an actual shower thought was posted

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This shower thought is pretty much the basis of Archimedes principle. The upwards force of buoyancy is equal and opposite to the weight of the displaced fluid. Just imagine an empty bathtub floating in the lake. Now imagine the tub in the bathroom filled to the same level that the lake tub was submerged. The force keeping the lake tub floating and the force of the weight of the bathroom tub (including the weight of the tub) are the same.

Huh, I just went looking for stock images to show this and til that apparently historical accounts say that the principle was discovered in the bathtub.

A bathtub IS a canoe. A canoe is a bathtub.

We're coming to the end they are about to reboot the matrix.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The simulation or the movie franchise?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A canoe with stabilizers in many cases. Not very good ones though., lots of drag, and a possibility of detriment to making water splash into the boat.

[-] kubok@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

I like the way you think. Take my upvote.

[-] thonofpy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Now get into your river bath.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You've reminded me of a rather odd book series.

[-] Marthirial@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

But all canoes can be bathtubs but not the other way.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

You have a plug hole in your canoe?

Or a non-capsised boat, or an empty ocean

[-] Sinkbath@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Also you would be making love in water versus merely close to it. Coffee compared to either would be unsatisfactory. At best coffee that is like “ mak’n love ina canoe” is still “fukin near water”.

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.

  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
