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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

MODERATORS
OP is either referring to a drip filter, which makes brown coloured water, or one those cartridge things, which forces boiling water through ground coffee beans. In either case, swirling the jug is pointless.
it was a pun
should have tried a more violent response
Probably needed a bit more agitation
Drip coffee isn't always weak. My wife used to work at a Vietnamese restaurant and they made their Vietnamese coffee with a little drip pot full of Folgers but it would literally make you start sweating by the end of your cup.
"brown colored water" very weird way of describing coffee but okay lol
Really? I’m getting mixed signals tbh
Cold brew is
if it's sitting on a pot warmer, convection currents can promote mixture, but alas, it is inversely proportional to the freshness of the coffee.
A problem I avoid by brewing a single cup at a time.
I put coffee grounds in the french press and cover with newr-boiling water (~90c) which agitates and mixes things. 5 minutes or so later, I just pour my first cup
It's like foremilk and hindmilk.
The foremilk was once reserved for the younglings, that they might grow straight but that is all passed now with the coming of the machinery.
