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

    Came into this thread wondering “who the hell wears belts?”. Then saw everyone in here was taking belt wearage as a given. Then looked over at my husband and saw he’s wearing a belt.

    TIL, all men apparently wear belts and I just never noticed before.

      Men’s pants can be a lot more loose around the waist and we typically have no butt to hold things up.

        It’s to leave space for full pockets

          You know, in my jealousy about the capacious pockets in men’s pants, I never thought about how they must weigh the pants down when they’re full of keys and wallet and phone and tampons and condoms and stuff. No wonder y’all need belts!

      You have probably noticed but never appreciated that men don’t usually have big hips to keep our pants up (or more specifically our waists and hips tend to be very close to the same size). Some men do, but even well fitting pants slide down on me without a belt. My wife is always amazed when we take our measurements and the hip to waist ratio is so wildly different. She’s like “I knew women’s hips were bigger but Jesus Christ”.

    You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.

    Sheesh.

    Wash your hands in the bathroom, nobody bats an eye.

    Scrub down your belt buckle in the sink and people lose their minds!

      If someone gets uppity in a bathroom when you are practicing good hygiene, ask them why they don’t. And don’t let up.

    If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.

      Is that why no one at the gym will spar with me as a brown belt!?

    Jokes on you, I wash my belt all the time!

    …which is definitely not because I leave it on my pants and forget to take it off before I throw them in the laundry.

    You gotta keep your belt clean.

    You never know when it’s going to be used for a naughty time

    are you pooping on your hands? Why would you be worried about “touching” anything after pooping unless you’re getting poop all over your hands.

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.
