Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly.

    Should they?
    I would expect them to be somewhat self-cleaning when in regular use.

    Also: Bonus point because Iiteral shower thought.

        I now had to check…

        Shower head is appr. half a year old.
        Gunk-free so far! :-)

          ok, I’ll bite, do you often have a photo of your shower head handy?

            No, but took me only 20s or so to walk to the bath and take one.
            Also 30 additional steps and a reset of the get-up-counter on my fitness watch, so was a welcome reason to leave the couch ;-)

            I just rub the nipples when I’m standing in the shower. I know, phrasing.

              I gotta flick the nipples to get the crust off. (Phrasing)

            I have no words how jealous I am. My shower head looks nothing like that after the first day. I almost have to do a deep clean the entire shower cabin to keep the limescale off.

              Soak that shit in a ziplock full of vinegar, hold it in place with an elastic band and profit with a shiny clean shower head.

            The one before was 5+ years old when its hose broke.
            Did not look great but still ok in the end.
            Might just be limescale?

            That is correct.

        The “gunk” is just mineral deposits, right?

            I’d bet you could soak it in some CLR to get rid of the deposits.

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
