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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I seriously couldn't live without cargo pants. At any given time, I'll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

Reading these comments, I'm starting the think I've been doing the whole "dating profile" thing wrong. Clearly I need to mention I have some experience making and altering clothes, which includes enlarging or adding pockets to anything.

Everything else on there fluff compared to the ability to give a woman functional pockets.

“Anyone get get you coffee, but I can give those pants you love pockets” would honestly draw my attention. Funny in a non-crude way, expressing a creative hobby (conversation topic!) that solves a problem that women actually complain about (versus what is said they want)? Not a bad intro!

All joking aside, yes you should absolutely lead with this.
