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.

As someone dealing with an incredibly stubborn post nasal drip, I can unfortunately confirm I know what my snot smells and tastes like, as it was permanently on my breath for several days when it was at its worst.

Fascinating! And gross, of course.

That must have been rough

How do I delete someone else’s post?

Well there is at least the hide post option....

You ever get that weird smell after rubbing your nose hard? I think that's what they smell like.

Kinda sweet?

Some of us know what they taste like though…

Use a neti pot. Whatever you don't smell afterward — that's boogers.

Sort of. Def. learn to use a neti pot. It's the best way to clean your nasal passages.

If my boogers start smelling like peanut butter it means I’m getting a sinus infection. Happens without fail 2-3 days after I notice it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's foul....but handy. Ive only had one sinus infection and the only thing that made me aware of it was the intense headache. Yeah, sounds like you have them often....I don't know how you do it. The vertigo was the absolute worst.
