I promise I will not do any April Fools jokes. This is because if you want me to come up with something absurd yet plausible on a schedule, my brain will freeze up. I think of absurd yet plausible stuff usually while in the shower or on the toilet, which hopefully doesn’t say too much about my digestive system.

@Leucrotta Now I'm thinking about how showers and toilets affect thinking.

They're both really good brain resets; you walk out of the space you were in before and into a new place for a while, where you have something to do (shower/pee/poop) but it's not completely attention-sucking, you have time to think.

@frostwolf makes sense. And both are kinda sacred personal spaces; you really can’t interrupt someone on the pot or showering, hell the whole reason I started showering as a teenager is if I were bathing my Dad would wander in and start talking at me and, with water pouring down noisily, he couldn’t corner me about whatever shit I didn’t care about.

@Leucrotta huh. HUH. YEAH.

also WTF at your dad, a bath is the same kind of sacred personal space!

@frostwolf he used to call me in to talk while he was bathing. I assume this is some sort of poor immigrant no personal space thing. Despite nudity as a context this was never sexual, it was always shit I needed to do or needed to think about, usually schoolwork.
