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

My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

There is no valid reason for the toilet seat to ever be up when you enter the bathroom.

You close the lid before you flush, that's why it exists.

edit: added "valid"

But I like seeing my turds circle the drain

I don't like it, but watching the flush can save a whole lot of pain. Clogs suck.

Flushing isn't exactly silent, though? The toilet getting clogged should make a very noticeably different sound.

This might be different in mostly wooden homes like in the US, but here with stone homes the majority of the noise of flushing comes from the actual water rushing into the bowl plus the tank beginning to refill. The actual drainage causes virtually no noise.

Laziness is a reason

But after flushing I still need to check if I need to use the toilet brush

Lol that's not why a lid exists but gj on being confidently incorrect.
