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.

Likely slower due to the friction the fluid have to go through the length of the barrel. The benefit however is the accuracy it has and lower in decibel, as it act as an aiming device and a suppresor.

I like this theory, diverting more funding to your research doctor

Research like this deserves an Ig Nobel prize.

Your penis makes noise when you pee? The only noise I've ever heard is when the urine hits water/leaves/grass..

It sounds like a lawn mower in a kiddie pool full of spaghetti. Yours is silent?

Mine sounds more like me looking at how hot it is outside and thinking maybe later. Mostly quite, but a potential groan everyonce in a while.

A kiddie pool full of spaghetti is one place I haven't yet tried peeing

Should I wait for the kids to get out?
