    Or a non-capsised boat, or an empty ocean

    But all canoes can be bathtubs but not the other way.

    Also you would be making love in water versus merely close to it. Coffee compared to either would be unsatisfactory. At best coffee that is like “ mak’n love ina canoe” is still “fukin near water”.

      A dam is the opposite of a swimming pool… maybe. Are you trying to keep water in or out?

      A canoe with stabilizers in many cases. Not very good ones though., lots of drag, and a possibility of detriment to making water splash into the boat.

    This isn’t a shower thought. It’s a bath thought.

        I used to bathe in the shower.

        My parents were concerned about water usage and so banned baths. I, a stubborn teenager, just started using the dangling shower head instead of the bath tap to fill the tub. Presumably they knew, but they never called me on it.

          I just think bathing is a waste of time. I just want want to clean myself quickly and get out, I have better things to do.

            Bathing as a teenager, I wasn’t overly concerned about cleanliness or speed. I was more worried about hot water and laying down for a bit longer in the morning.

            Now, as an adult, I haven’t had a bath in several years. I’ve thought about it; standing, for me, is hard because I’m obese and have an old ankle injury that was repaired incorrectly. However, ultimately, I always end up going for the shower - because, as you said, it’s more efficient - then trembling on the bed for ten minutes until my ankle recovers.

            I agree, though. For effectiveness, go for a shower. For luxury, a bath might be appropriate.

          I think I would like a bathroom that is also a keep. Think of the privacy!

            Two bathrooms or one giant one. Two, unless it really is a keep!

    This shower thought is pretty much the basis of Archimedes principle. The upwards force of buoyancy is equal and opposite to the weight of the displaced fluid. Just imagine an empty bathtub floating in the lake. Now imagine the tub in the bathroom filled to the same level that the lake tub was submerged. The force keeping the lake tub floating and the force of the weight of the bathroom tub (including the weight of the tub) are the same.

    Huh, I just went looking for stock images to show this and til that apparently historical accounts say that the principle was discovered in the bathtub.

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.
