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.

This randomly came into my head first thing in the morning, apropos of nothing.

Which I've no idea what that crossover entails

A giant robot car piloted by a forsaken child powers the city?

This is a Nazi's wet dream, because they have always been enemies of thought, and now they have a machine that eloquently sells their animalistic ideas.

Context, then answer... instead of having everything ride on the first character (e.g. we make it pick "Y" or "N" first in response to a yes-or-no question, it usually picks "Y" even if it later talks itself out of it).

Android 12 is where they started making everything worse with the quick action and settings redesign, and it's been going downhill since.

Okay I had enough of this ride, where is the exit button? Hello, customer support? How do I exit this program?

Exhibit A:

Mom: "Why can't you just act normal? If you keep acting so weird, I'm gonna have to 'sent you to a mental hospital'"¹

Mom: "There are kids with severe disabilities and they still want to live, why are you such a coward and wanna kys?"

Idk mom, maybe because they have more supportative parents...

¹Also we're in the US right now, not back home, you need a court order for that, you fucking bitch

I don't know if I'm high or not. It usually takes me more than one edible to get high.

In terms of popular baby names, how long before "Rudolph" makes a comeback?

TLDs like .google and .microsoft really makes me think about how ridiculously gigantic those companies really are. They're so big they got their own freaking TLD.

As I was thinking about how fun it would be to have a job where you solve puzzles in the world, it struct me that media never depicts archeology in a real light. My short search seemed to confirm my thoughts. Most ancient sites are not guarded by elaborate traps or secret riddles to get in. From what I’ve found there were some crossbows here and there. Some rare hidden rooms with a lot treasure, but again, no traps.

That's such a small number. I bet there might be one or two near you even. You can just Google it!

Screaming youngsters can have some lungs on them.

And yes, I may be at an event where there’s a kid having an unholy tantrum and screeching as well as any black metal vocalist

So technically not a shower thought, but I will be having that thought the next time I’m listening to black metal in the shower.

Pigs are just 4 legged humans that are dumber. Since most of their organs are similar to ours. Heck! Human meat tastes like pork

I'm taking a shower at someone else's house and I noticed they have 1 bottle that says "3-in-1, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash".

Why isn't this the standard? Why do we even need 3 different types of soaps to bathe?? Have I bought into Big Soap capitalist propaganda without even noticing??

I just finished showering with the 3-1 soap and I don't feel any difference between the 1 soap vs the 3 soaps I have at home.
