    Excited DIYers running out before doing research: please note that in a medical setting something like half of potential donor poops wind up rejected because of unsuitable bacteria living in the gut that could make you sick.

      “What do you do for a living?”

      “My poops are the right kind of poops. So doctors pay me to take my poops so others can eat them.”

      “…what?”

        “They’re the best poops. Really, I don’t know anyone who has poops as good as me. And all the people, all the doctors, the committees, everyone agrees, everyone knows, my poops are the best. The best for me, the best for America.”

      The IRL holy grail is a toilet.

      Drink from the wrong one and you forfeit your life in the most horrid of ways.

    If it’s floating, it has too much fat in it, so it’s not the product of anyone with an especially healthy poop.

    Fecal transplants have actually surprising potential.

    But yeah there’s a lot of dangerous pathogens as well.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
