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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Only if you think someone's position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in "straights" by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.
Whoever is gayest could change from moment to moment as individual scores fluctuate. Or maybe you have to look at it as an average of all those cumulative scores. Rich had a fleeting moment of straightness, in an otherwise 100% gay life, that puts him a hair behind Stephan, whose gayness has been unwavering since birth.
More likely though, I think whether you look at the cumulative, or second to second, its a many way tie.
that's a beautiful thing. so, what moment were you all at your gayest? have you ever been THE gayest?
God I sure hope so. This is the only life I've got.
