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 (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Ok, so less a shower thought and more a "random observation while standing in line to vote" thought, but my mind is about equally checked out in both scenarios, so I'll count it.

Same reason I go to the dentist. Dental hygienists are hot as hell.

Yeah. But they’re spitters.

Personal preference. I guess I'm just into scrubs and latex in my mouth 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you floss for me big daddy?

No... I'm a bad boy.

I thought the punchline was going to be "to get drilled".

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Punchline requires joke, lol

I used to have a roommate who was in dental school. He said getting dates was incredibly easy because everybody realized it was the last time they would be in a large community of single people their age who were also intelligent and had similar interests and earning potential. And indeed, he went out with probably 20 different women that year. And he was incredibly picky and would write them off after one date - she's too loud, too quiet, doesn't drink, drinks too much, swears too much, smokes... Right at the end of the year he found the one, then had to go off and spend 2 years doing public health dentistry in another state to pay for his school loan. After 2 months he found another the one there and dumped the local one. So okay, I'm sure that gripping saga was worth telling lol.

Hm. Hm. Mhm. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that all dental hygienists are whores?

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Whores get paid. Dental hygienists are sluts; they give it away for free.

Mine never shut up. Why was my appointment booking an hour?

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's part of it for me. I love listening to idle chatter while my teeth get worked over with implements. And nitrile on gums is better than a deep tissue massage.

Any single dental hygienists near BGKY hmu please

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mine want a two way conversation. And I have stuff to do.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Just go

"Guh. Uh-huh. Mumblemumblemumble"
