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.

You would think someone would have thought to encase two shells in like a cage in headphones so you can listen to the ocean while you sleep. It's like a sound machine, but no battery required.

But, shells are sharp and wearing them that way is going to slice your ears off, anyway.

Shells have edges, but I've never seen one that's sharp. I think this shower thought more implies the shells are stored off you face and there's a buffer between skin and shell, butt one could also get shells large enough to go over the ear.

The shells may not have inherently sharp edges, but if they're big enough to fit over your ears, and weren't caged in some convoluted way, if you rolled over and broke them, then you might have some sharp problems.

OP wants powerless ocean sounds like what shells do when you put them to your ear. You know this is the intent because it was clearly stated in the post. You chose to be snarky anyways. Classic reddit commenter mindset
