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.

IMHO it’s even worse with ADHD, just less immediate. There are songs and artists that were major favorites of mine at one point, that I just haven’t listened to in years cause I’m so fucking tired of them after listening to them 8h a day for 3 months straight. There also not a single job I didn’t get tired of after a year or two lol
We learned about a study in Psych class where the researchers asked elementary school students what their favorite activity was. Drawing was the popular answer. So the researchers paid the kids $8/hr (even 6yo get better than Min wage) to draw. Then they would poll them again about their favorite activities. Guess what was on the bottom?
Not a great example, unless you have a very repetitive job. You have described work in general but music as one song only. I can listen to music I like over and over again all day, and I can also (mostly) enjoy my job all the time.
What does it say if you have your favorite job while listening to your favorite song and still love both?
Speak for yourself, the super Mario Brothers theme slaps for eternity.
SMB3 Bowser theme legit goes hard.
I don't know, man, do you really wanna taste it??
I mean, yes, but no?
I've been doing the same thing for almost 20 years and I still enjoy it.....
My spotify stats every year disagree
That's why I don't know who, those YT videos "Song XY 10-hours loop", are for. That would make me crazy.
I feel like I have to introduce a counter-example, this song has been absolutely stuck in my head in the last few weeks. I've listened to it literally hundreds of times in that timeframe and it's still an absolute banger.
