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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands (feddit.de)

Do you live in a retention pond? How on earth does a belt get and stay damp enough to grow mold? How long has it been sitting undisturbed? I didn't know about leather being antimicrobial until just now. Even then, a moldy leather belt just seems wrong lol

All my leather jackets, belts, shoes get mouldy if left unused for some time. All you need to do is live in a humid country.. that'll do the trick!
