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.

Instance checks out.
Give me belly rubs and head pats when welcoming me into your home, damn it! 🥺
You got it 🫳🐺
What's this we shit?
I snuggle every motherfucker I can get my arms around. I will snuggle the shit out of you
Please.
aggressively warm and hairy snuggling begins
Get me a fan or air conditioning, for survival, and I'm in
Hey, wanna go frolicking later? I found this meadow I haven't tried yet.
Turn it into the frolicking pit, get all hard fucking core with the frolicking. Be a couple of happy, smiling, frolicking motherfuckers up in the woods!
I'm not, and now I want to
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh hello! Hellooo! Whose the best one of all the ones??? Whose the best one?? IT'S YOU!!!! YOU ARE!!!
This part would be cool, tell everyone they're a good person and some of them might actually improve. But I draw the line at letting them drool on me.
This is basically how we greet each other at my men’s group
Belly rubs all around?
Lots of scritches
Listen, I understand why you’d feel that way as a modern human, but why are you glad we, as a potently social species, don’t engage in such simple bonding rituals?
We kill each other too often.
May I sniff your butt though?
You don't?
I don't snuggle strange animals, or even my friend's pets, unless they ask for it. I treat humans the same way. My cats get snuggles; so does my wife. I give my family about the same amount of hugs as I do their pets. My sister's dog asks for head skritches; if my sister asked for them, I'd probably give them to her.
But, no: I don't go around molesting other people's pets unsolicited. Nor people.
this entire thread made me question my understanding of the word snuggle, so i looked it up. nope it agreed with me. snuggling is like cuddling.
maybe the definition has evolved recently?
snuggling has nothing to do scritches and positive words etc.
Sorry...i meant general expressions of affection and reactions to cuteness. Will edit.
I would if I had someone. But for now I just give my cat the big squeeze and smooch her head.
The world would be a happier place if everyone did.
Be a lot more people walking around with hickies
