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.

I feel like baths stopped evolving in the 20s. Humans are regularly almost 6 feet tall. Why are baths so tiny?

It's a conspiracy from Big public water utility. They want you to pour it all down the drain. They know if we could fit, we could use that same bath water 4, maybe even 10 times before emptying it. Plus once you factor in that using soap in the first bath means you don't need to use it again until you empty it tells me big soap is in on the grift. This is why woman are selling their bath water, it's very economic to recycle and profitable for those who can fit in the tub.

The amount of babies saved is also incredible. Both on the front of not throwing out the bath water and then on the side of purchasing said water.

ALWAYS make sure autocorrect didn't change it from bath water to birth water before you confirm your order.
