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.

Seconds.
OMFG yes.
I once made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, set it down on my coffee table to grab my remote and my dog had the whole thing in his mouth in less than a nano-second.
Our eyes met and he froze, and then put it back on the plate. At that point it was his but I did not want the poor bugger to choke so I broke up and gave it to him.
I loved that dog but he was a garage can.
Ours could differentiate the crinkle of something containing cheese compared to any other crinkle coming from the kitchen, and would trot around the corner like she expected to see everyone in there shovelling cheese into their face and she was free to take part, when that would only actually happen about 25% of the time.
Ha, cheese addiction has gotta be a thing with dogs.
My dog knows the sound the cheese container makes very well. That fuckers come in from outside when we've got that container out in the past.
I've stopped giving him cheese now, (i think i read its toxic for dogs), so he doesn't care so much about when we get it out. I wonder if the sound gives him happy reminiscences though?
I wouldn't say it's toxic, but many dogs are lactose intolerant, and cheese tends to be high in fat which can lead to pancreatitis if given too much or too frequently.
Anytime anyone makes food at the kitchen counter, Arlo comes over to wait for crumbs. He looks at us, looks at the floor, looks back at us. "Drop something."
"Oops. I 'accidentally' dropped some shredded cheese."
I can leave any food object within dog head hight and my husky won't touch it unless I give it to her. now I want pizza
