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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Idk, Japanese onsen baths are really, really hot. Maybe not literally boiling, but I felt like it was. And hot baths for sore muscles wouldn't be a whole thing if it wasn’t producing some kind of tenderizing effect.
(I'm mostly saying this in jest. Mostly.)
You're correct, this is why you should avoid going to ramen shops near onsens. They use the people broth from the onsens in their ramen to add a mushroomy, cheesy, porky flavor.
mmm, umami
If you're adding mushroomy or cheesy flavor to the onsen then you're skipping an important step: scrubbing your filthy body thoroughly before getting in the tubs.
Pork flavor is normal because that's what we humans taste like. Do right by the ramen shops and clean yourself before adding your meats to the communal broth.
I do clean myself before but how am I supposed to eat microwaved creminis with swiss cheese in a tub without dropping a few pieces
