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.

We saved you from being interred

Now you're out eating a turd

I yell but you are undeterred

Came up with that in the shower on Monday. We recently adopted an eight year old golden retriever with severe anxiety issues who was scheduled to be put down.

Her old dad died a couple of years ago and she never got over it. My wife Amy (double bonus song reference, although she doesn't appreciate me renaming her song) thought giving her a hard reset in a new home might work.

And it has, she is fantastic, and even my cats like her.

We were all prepared for an anxious dog and got standard Labrador problems instead!

We are very lucky there.

Our youngest cat, Maryjane, is the enforcer. Any new animals in the house get hassled by her until they meet her standards.

Doesn't matter how unruly the dog is, she will patiently hiss and bat at them until they chill a bit.
