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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I read that if you see a mosquito biting you and you can resist the urge to swat her until she's done, you'll have less itch because she'll have sucked most of her saliva back out with the blood. But I haven't tried it
That would mean when they bite you during the night when they can take their sweet time, you would wake up with no itchiness, but that's not the case for me.
Maybe the nighttime suckers are kinky bastards who deliberately hock a loogie in you before they leave.
The huck tuah mozzies
