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.

Kidney might be similar. Both people are likely to be left with one functioning kidney, but one has to take anti-rejection drugs.
A partial liver transplant and a bone marrow transplant is even more along the lines of better to be the donor.
And fecal transplants are pretty easy on both parties, but moreso the donor.
It's especially true for bone marrow now, since in many cases they no longer have to drill into your hip. They can extract it from your blood.
Unless you're one of the lucky few whose body simply accepts the transplanted organ as its own.
wait
does this mean "eat shit" counts as unsolicited medical advice
My friend had a kidney transplant but they moved her own kidney to the front. I forgot what that workes on but even she said it was odd.
