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

I'm surprised more rain jackets don't have Ziploc-style pockets that can be sealed shut (leminal.space)

Maybe this is a thing and I've been buying cheap rain jackets.

I wonder if reusable and resealable bags are only designed to be open and closed a finite amount of times.

As long as the jacket’s properly constructed the pockets should be just as watertight as the rest of the outer shell.

When purchasing a raincoat, you can look at the pocket stitching and zipper model to try to gauge how it’ll hold up (or just buy it, experiment on it, and return it if it fails).
