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.

Wow that is freaky. It's hard to say what goes on in other galaxies I'm sure there are worlds like that with all the given possibilities. I read an interesting brain candy type book called "Easy Journey to Other Planets" (it was by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada so it may be a bit far fetched for some people, I try to keep an open mind personally 😄). It explains that we are not always reborn here and there are places that are beyond anything we can comprehend.
There was a period of time when I was interested in meditation and when I could let my mind go for brief periods I saw some very bizarre, unexplainable scenes unfold. None of them made any sense at all. It would be a glimpse of some way of life where the beings were machine like and the inspiration for 1950's automobiles and kitchen ware, all avocado green and gold chrome 🤣(I don't know any other way to explain).
Yes, I'm sure this current stage of human evolution would be beyond the understanding of a human from 25k years ago. It's fun to think about sometimes.
Onward to utopia 🖖
