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.

  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 can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I think people just don't have decent pants. I just wear golf pants everyday and they're super comfortable. They're light, they stretch and move with you, and they're super comfortable. Granted I would rather wear shorts over pants especially when it's in the 90s but I've never thought my pants weren't comfortable. You can get some pants for cheap that are better than what most people are wearing every day. $20 per pair for some comfortable pants.

My brother-in-law gave me some of his old golf pants that he didn't wear anymore. They're amazing. Very comfy, but stylish enough that many people think you're wearing slacks. And they keep me cool since I hate wearing shorts.

Yeah I get mine from a site called 32 degrees. I've seen some of their stuff sold in Costco as well. But their stretch woven pants are only $20. I have 3 pairs of them that I've worn everyday for work for the past couple years. Had a couple buttons pop off but just slapped a new one on. No issues with them at all and I'm a bigger guy at 6'3" 290 lbs. They have good basic polos too (though the collars leave something to be desired).
