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

You don't realize how nice it is when you don't have a headache, until you have a headache. (lemmy.world)

Toothaches are awful. I basically had ruins in my mouth for years and I always had one wound or another in it.

Somehow I didn't really notice any pain, until it got really worse and I finally overcame my fear of dentists. When I finally got to the doc and all of these problems were treated my whole body just felt so...silent.

The pain must've always been there, I just endured it and subconsciously blended it out.
