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.

At least, you'll have an idea of what's going on in your new dimension

I haven't heard that phrase in any context since then. Do parents still say that to their kids?

Yes, this is a literal shower though I just had.

I'd say that's a good moment to take a breath and check whether this applies before proceeding.

(This obviously doesn't apply for celebrities.)

So why do my cats dive in front of mine so frequently!?

Edit: 36 feet, not 36 inches XD

Is this original or did I hear it somewhere.

Could there a better way to say this.

Be the kindness you where denied.

If one is born sometime before midnight and one after they have different birthdays.

@showerthoughts life's like an MCQ. After three options, the fourth common one is "None of the above."

Ducks fly like they're on a mission, point to point, no fucking around. Crows fly for fun, chase each other, and just hang out.

After many years, at last I have become sufficiently cantankerous that one egregiously stupid post to c/showerthoughts is enough to make me block someone.

You know how people be like: He has such a kind heart, he'd never be able to commit such grusome murder...

Then you have zombie apocalypses and you have these characters being portrayed as "weak" and sometimes even "sheltered" and they're usually the first ones to die...
