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

That and pain. I didn't realize I was in pain my whole life until I had surgery for something else and they prescribed me Darvocet. Not only did I wake up feeling refreshed for the first time in my life, I found out just how much pain I've always been in. To the point where the surgery pain was nonexistent and I didn't have to take more than 2 of the pills through the entire recovery period and the second time was just to test my theory from the first.
I've had parts removed since and didn't bother with the pain meds after. It didn't hurt any more than the rest of me did. I'm not sure if I should be scared, worried, or proud of that.
