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.

The size of the hole at the back of the toilet where the water drains out is some engineer's estimation of the maximum size of something that they think could come out of your butt.

Instructions unclear, flushed the plunger

Nah, When you flush, the shit goes somewhere.

Some of what you flush is sprayed back up out of the bowl if you don't close the lid. Much like Hawking Radiation.

Closing the lid doesn't help. And in fact all houses are covered in a thin layer of shit particles.

Technically known as sharticles

I get the feeling closing the lid has the same effect as putting your thumb on top of a hose...

Yeah it's microscopic particles so unless your toilet lid is airtight it just pushes them further out the side.

We got over a hundred bags of human waste on the moon, what's ya point?

Take my upvote and go look it up.

what’s ya point?

The shit gets reused and still exists in the environment/universe.

The opposite of matter entering a singularity.

Go read about the holographic principle. Also most scientists don't think singularities actually exist. Infinities pop up where our math doesn't make sense anymore.

Toilets don't destroy waste they just send it down a pipe.

If that's the case then OP's mom is like the porta potty trailer of the universe

Tossing upvotes down the line LOL!

Thank you for stopping by my Ted Talk.

Each one of my turds is its own singularity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But do you name them and keep a photo album like the rest of us? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can't photograph a singularity. Not even light can escape their gravity.
