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.

Have you been watching Supermarket Sweep?
Which of these costs more than $1: Jiffy Pop, Pledge, or Rice a Roni, the San Francisco treat?
Now I gotta wake up early to turn on Price is Right to see how insane the prices are for all the bidding parts.
...It's still on the air, right? 🤔
There are also 24 hour Price is Right channels on Pluto. They have both a Bob Barker channel and a Drew Carey channel.
Yup, its the oldest ongoing game show and will be it's 55th season this year hosted by Drew Carey.
I’ll take Rice a Roni, bob!
