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.

Do you ever get body parts that are jealous? I was cleaning my ears after a bath and once i finished my left ear my right ear was ichy. If my ears would have been cats my right ear would have been screaming because it hadn't had a treat yet and the left cat had. Thats when i thought about how when taking off shoes at the end if the day it's nice but the moment you get that first shoe off it's a race to get the second off. Like the second foot is jealous it didn't get let out first. I might just be really high.

Hello, thanks for posting to shower thoughts.

Rule 2 is that the entire thought should be in the title.

Feel free to use the body to add more info. its a rule to encourage distilling the core thought.

Was "jealous body parts" not distilled enough?
