Showerthoughts

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.

The difference between clumping and non-clumping cat litter is quite significant, so a definite no on that.

Yeah, this isn't even close to true. Like, your eyeballs can figure out some differences pretty quick. lol

Now, if op had said internet service providers or major banks, we'd be solid.

I think OP just wanted to work in a pun on shit and this is the best they could come up with

No, it's still the same shit.

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 16 points 1 year ago

Yes, I consider if it was just supposed to be that joke. But this is showerthoughts, not dadjokes.

No, it’s still the same shit.

Someone got it.

Dont let the truth get in the way of a good pun.

Some are also WAY dustier than others. We've had to swap a few times since it irritated my husband's sinuses.

I pay huge amounts for this organic clumping litter made out of grass that neutralizes all smells and there is nothing you can say that will make me side with your opinion.

I bought dirt-cheap cat litter and not only did it smell bad when he pooped in it, it gave my cat a skin infection. Don't cheap out.

You can just use wood pellets, so I am told. I used to do it when I cared for my sister's rabbit, and it worked very well.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are really cheap but my cats fucking hated it.

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Luckily my cat doesn’t mind them. They do work better than any regular litter. Almost no smell (just slight pine + pee smell) and super easy to clean.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Some of it does medical diagnostics every time your cat does a wee. It's definitely not all the same. Also, different cats, different poops.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well, yeah. If you want to change the shit, buy different catfood.

[–] Froyn@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Until that one guest at the party who thinks they're hilarious does otherwise.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I thought this was dadjokes for a second.
