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.

They'd be giving a show in front of a campfire. During times with natural light everyone would be too busy gathering food to survive to spend time listening to a comedy show
People telling jokes around the at night seems like a very ancient human tradition.
I feel like you wasted your shower thinking time
We hear you. We see you. We feel you.
At snek_boi, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty good standards. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us was anything less than alright.
We want to ensure our time in the shower is used as efficiently as possible. No dilly-dallying. No half-baked thoughts. In and out. Swish and flick.
Rest assured, we are escalating this internally to ensure a swift resolution.
As a gesture of goodwill, have a good one.

And even if they did have clubs, they're not speaking the same language, so no one would get the jokes
They surely did have clubs in paleolith.
I think they were bigger on spears though.
Yeah, comedians would be hard pressed to compete with Britney.
Slapstick and other silent humor: “am i a joke to you?!”
I laugh at jokes I didn't hear if the one who says them is smiling or laughing, so I wouldn't be so sure
If they did speak the same language what jokes could they tell that would be relatable?
Dick and fart jokes maybe?
I'm imaging Seinfield-like observational comedy but with other themes. "Hunter-gathering? What's the deal? I do all the gathering and none of the hunting!"
I'm struggling with Richard Pryor shit jokes. "You ever have a shit that sticks to the toilet bowl?"
"Boo! Grog not know what toilet bowl is. Don't like intellectual humour."
They'd probably die long before they had a chance to try working.
Idk, they're going to the Paleolichic era. They might survive if they're sent back in some great outfits.
