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.

Everybody knows that stupid cats taste better.
Cat's in the Kettle
I have a very smart cat but he uses that intelligence to uh get my attention.
He'll groom himself in a mirror only to look at me in the mirror and be excited when he sees me when he turns around to come at me.
He also likes to find ways to get my attention like getting in things or knocking stuff over or scratching things or sitting on papers or my laptop or things. If I have a pillow in my lap or my laptop he will also find every possible solution to get as close to me as humanly possible. He is also very careful about not scratching me when he is on me or I pick him up.
He gets so annoyed and angry when I have a laptop or like block his approach in some way like just walking around or standing. Wherein he starts to run around and meow softly at me. Having zoomies and hiding in drawers or around corners when I'm walking around to just attack me with his softpaws to get my attention.
I love him a lot.
Didn’t you just post a question asking about this and everyone answered either neutrally or with the smart cat?
Yup, just read the other post. No one picked stupid cat. Really weird behavior OP.
Edit: also, reading the reponses here, people don't care or pick smart cat. Just like in the other post..
I have one Brilliant Schemer and one Beautiful Idiot, and I wouldn't trade either of them ♥️
I mean, would you want a cat that tries to reverse engineer your thumbs?
Nope.
I chose neither, the cat chose me.
No, they wouldn't. Nobody wants their cat to die through being dumb.
I think cats might actually die more from being smart, i.e adventurous, and straying to places where no cat has ventured before
I love smart cars
Depends what the cat is for. If it's indoor companion, then stupid cat. If it's mouse hunter or travel cat - smart cat
