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.

12 minutes … and per day? How much are you people shitting?

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not enough if I want to master it in my lifetime.

When do you think I browse the feds

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah I don't think I've ever taken a 12 minute poop in my life.

Like, 40 mins a day? It all depends on the person, someone with IBS can go to the toilet 4 - 5 times in the morning for instance. I think I already mastered shitting tbh

I mean sure, if you have a condition. But it seems a quite a lot for the average person.

IBS really skews the mean. We gotta find the median.

It takes me longer to wipe than poop. But to each their own.

You know, I want one. But it appears the cheap ones are bad and the good ones are super fucking expensive

There's always a bucket, or squeezy bottle or garden hose for you in these dark brown times.

or toilet paper, for us rubes. :)
