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

Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? (sh.itjust.works)

Some used pumice (I think Lava Soap or something along those lines) but it's more harsh than the plastic microbeads OP is referring to.

I know St Ives uses crushed up walnut shells and apricot pits for theirs.

Can confirm as I am allergic to walnuts.

I have been using that stuff for years and I'm very satisfied!
