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.

Honey Mustard Fractals would be a great name for a Trance-step record

Tripping on acid and eating honey mustard. This post now makes a lot more sense! Upvoted <3

Unless they didnt like the taste 🤣

Nobody who disliked mustard on its own would try it mixed with something else, everyone loves honey it's sweet, ergo the first person who combined them definitely had this experience.

Chiming in as someone who doesn't like honey on its own. The texture and its, to me, overtly sweet taste, makes me recoil. But I do like it mixed with other things! So I would've been one of the people going, "Maybe this mustard can fix this honey?" Hahaha.

That's not possible, literally everyone loves honey it's sweet

Imagine if you mixed LSD into honey mustard. Your nuggies would whisper dark secrets to you as you ate them.

Given that people in the past used both honey and mustard in poultices, there is a non-zero chance that someone discovered this particular combination while inadvertently licking their fingers after treating a gangrenous wound. "Damn, Sir Richard, you'll be losing the leg, but taste this - it's amazing."

Good morning to you too! Can't wait to dig in to my breakfast now 😭 RIP to Sir Richard. Quite literally, with that leg of his 🫡
