Showerthoughts

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.

Im the same. I hate cooking, I feel it's way too time intensive. Most of the time I'll order something or eat on the go.

I almost never think about food, aside of actually being hungry and thinking about how to change that with the least work.

I guess it would technically count as cooking, yes. I call it the bare minimum.

I do weekly meal prepping for my main meals. I usually end up thinking about what I'll cook for upcoming a lot throughout the week. That way I make something I know won't bore me for 5-8 main meals in a row. I also enjoy cooking and my girl doesn't so I make her food too. Ends up being a good bit of thought and action for 10-30 minutes of actual eating a day.
