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:

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.

There's probably an extraterrestrial kid out there right now, doodling a rainbow instead of doing homework.

Alt universe Showerthought:

[I really want to live in the Universe where I didn't commit murder to get this "What If" Machine... I can already hear the police sirens getting louder...]

Whales are tetrapods, which evolved from lobe-finned fishes, so cladistically they are fish. And so am I. Bloop bloop bloop!

There’s a time and place for a shower thought. 😉

I mean we can now document every single day of our lives, even down to the seconds, if we wanted to...

Which reminds me tho... I've been thinking about the idea of journaling for the past... 5 years... but actually doing feels so boring so I never started... like every day is just do boring and cringe lmfao

Like what do I even write? "Oohh I'm a boring piece of shit that stayed home all day because of depression"

I'm lame as fuck...

I'm so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.

Like, read every sentence in every story of each day's newspaper, trusting the editor not to print anything that would be too much of a waste of time.

So every time the Celsius Fahrenheit debate comes out, there is always the point made about “Fahrenheit makes more sense, it tells you how is out there: 0 is freezing, 100 is roasting hot”.

And yes, that might be accurate but showcases that USA citizens only care about themselves, they do not even care about physics or chemistry.

The “it works for me therefore it is good” mentality is what they bring to the world and the most clear example is their choice of framing for justifying Fahrenheit over Celsius.

"Parents that awful don't deserve to have children, poor kids..."

"Kids are awful, this is why I'm never having children, I want to enjoy the rest of my life stress free..."

Thanks Christians, you can shove that bible right up your collective asses.

Who needs guns and tanks when you've got a dog the size of a horse that can run at 258 mph and breathe fire? And he's biddable enough to be commanded by a ten year old.

Like, I get that dreams are probably a way for the brain to sort and store its recent experiences, but why/how do we even remember those dreams? I can’t think of what purpose that could serve, other than to make me question my sanity.

Kind of like the Prada in Marfa, it could be an art project and contain Radio Shack, Blockbuster and other stores from that time that aren’t around anymore.

Edit: I meant as more of an art project, not an actual functioning stores. They’re no longer in business for a reason, though I could see vinyl loving types unironically shopping there.

So you only take it when you absolutely have to instead of OD'ing because cough syrup tastes good.
