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-----

Things growing in the water would be an issue. And highly treated water will damage your skin. There'd also be a chance of drowning every night. You could mitigate with a dry suit but that kinda ruins the point.
A risk, really? Who wouldn't wake up coughing if they accidentally inhaled a mouthful of water!?
Besides all the potential medications you'd wake up panicked, in water (likely swallow more), and may in your panick fail to get out of whatever tub setup you have. It isn't common but people do drown in bathtubs (not just infants who've been left alone).
People who take Ambien, Lunesta, or trazodone. Anyone who drinks too much and doesn't realize it. Anyone on opiates for pain.
Hmm... You make a very drown-y point.
