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.

What do you think the mask hating whiners are? They're toddlers with voting rights.
You feel angry. Think about why you feel angry. Is it something you came up with yourself or was it put there?
It was put there by science-denying troglodytes like yourself trying to drag civilization back into the Dark Ages. Enjoy your blood-letting and miasma treatments, don't forget your nightly mercury applications.
You paint a very black-and-white cartoon
If bloodletting isn't your thing, maybe you'd prefer a milk transfusion. They've made incredible advancements in trepanation if that's more your speed. Have you tried sacrificing a goat to guarantee good health? I hear it can be really effective, just make sure you pick an in-network deity.
You feel angry. Think about why you need to project your anger onto others. Is it something you naturally do, or do scientific topics tend to stir up resentment in you?
(May I suggest being a bit funnier when rage baiting if thats what youre doing? Can't tell, could also just be a very silly goose)
Well I'm not the one saying mean stuff, so yes, the rage is on your side.
Not really on any side here, nor am I saying mean things either! Was just hoping you'd end up being funny instead of trite but expectations were a bit too high on my end. Have a good one, hope i see you improved one day :)
Unfortunately, due to their lack of any humor I doubt they are a rage baiter and actually one of the many idiots who drink the Kool aid.
