A bathtub is the opposite of a canoe.

You have a plug hole in your canoe?
This isn’t a shower thought. It’s a bath thought.
- I shower in the bathtub.
  
  I used to bathe in the shower.
  
  My parents were concerned about water usage and so banned baths. I, a stubborn teenager, just started using the dangling shower head instead of the bath tap to fill the tub. Presumably they knew, but they never called me on it.

  Communities aren't hashtags!

- Kudos, that might be better than my first thought: canoen't

  Both are pretty on point
  
  That was my first thought too though. 😆

- Is that a nether-oar situation?
And lobsters are mermaids to scorpions.
- A dam is the opposite of a swimming pool… maybe. Are you trying to keep water in or out?
- Dude!
A shower thought on showerthoughts??? Impossible
This shower thought is pretty much the basis of Archimedes principle. The upwards force of buoyancy is equal and opposite to the weight of the displaced fluid. Just imagine an empty bathtub floating in the lake. Now imagine the tub in the bathroom filled to the same level that the lake tub was submerged. The force keeping the lake tub floating and the force of the weight of the bathroom tub (including the weight of the tub) are the same.

Huh, I just went looking for stock images to show this and til that apparently historical accounts say that the principle was discovered in the bathtub.
- Eureka!
Upvoted because I genuinely lolled ad this.
- I couldn’t see your comment because of my “ad” blocker.
  
  You're adsolutely right!
- It's been a while since an actual shower thought was posted
A bathtub IS a canoe. A canoe is a bathtub.
- Wake up Neo...
  
  We're coming to the end they are about to reboot the matrix.
- A canoe with stabilizers in many cases. Not very good ones though., lots of drag, and a possibility of detriment to making water splash into the boat.
¿Porque no los dos?
I like the way you think. Take my upvote.
But all canoes can be bathtubs but not the other way.
Now get into your river bath.
- You've reminded me of a rather odd book series.
thanks
Or a non-capsised boat, or an empty ocean
Also you would be making love in water versus merely close to it. Coffee compared to either would be unsatisfactory. At best coffee that is like “ mak’n love ina canoe” is still “fukin near water”.
