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.

Haven’t been taking any drugs 😌🤣
Sir, this is a Wendy's. But really, this is shower thoughts not mescaline thoughts.
Don’t take psychedelics my dude. I wish. Hahaa but this isn’t shower thoughts?? Really to me it’s like 4/10 crazy. Sorry I gusss 🤣🤣🤣
You need to consult a psychiatrist for a schizophrenia diagnosis. You need help. Professional help.
Nah. I’m fine. Also I’ve already been cleared for schizophrenia. Alongside delusions and psychosis 💅😘
Hahaha nice try.
Doubtful
It’s only doubtful because normal people can’t wrap their heads around it but when I get into deep detail about physics with magic. Any one knowledge would realize it’s true and the effects it causes are noticeable to everyone including doctors. So I fully respect your closed off mindset and hope you have a wonderful day 🤭
Yep. You've got it. Schizophrenia 💯
Oh, your back. Damn I almost forgot about your rambling.
Oh hey it's you! Did you end up growing wings in the end or no?
This content really enhances Lemmy. I, too, want to know the answer to the wing question. It's been long enough to grow wings, surely?
Honestly, I really do enjoy seeing this kind of stuff. It's much more interesting than the usual fare lol
And how did you experience this memory/fantasy/dream/vision?
Just by being awake it randomly transported me
I’m not doubting you, I’m just seeking to understand the experience more.
Was it like a daydream, or a physical transportation? Could you come out of it at will, or was it uncontrollable for you?
I’m a practicing occultist, and I have experienced some weird shit before, but this description stands out. Visions don’t always mean what they appear to on the surface. Your post history suggests that you’ve had similar moments like this before.
If it is uncontrollable, you may want to get checked out by a professional. The magician swims in the same waters that the madman drowns in, they say.
Ohh I fully understand. This is rather must, I say. Abnormal and I’m completely aware of that. It was mental transportation. I don’t believe it was physical in the same sense as my full body transported. Though. It’s almost like I was in two places at once or at least I believe I was in two places. Tbf though I wouldn’t also know 😆 I just appeared back where I was.
Also no I could not control it at will. I couldn’t leave if it didn’t allow me. At least I don’t believe. It’s hard to say. I know in the future I can fully teleport but it’s more of a warp drive made in your body.
And no it’s not concerning for me. I will say it’s odd just wasn’t scary haha. I’ve been through a lot with this path.
It sounds like something between a vision and a disassociation. Have you been doing anything that might have brought this on like drugs or metaphysical work? I’m glad you didn’t find it distressing, but it does sound a little like this could be a problem if it happens to you in the car or the grocery store.
Hahahaa yeah I use magic as E=MC^2 and am ascending to godhood. Alongside continuously falling from grace with Lilith.
Though I don’t see a difference between magic and mundane if we are all matter and energy. And magic is energy manipulation.
Also no I was just in the bathroom calm, minding my business and next I’m in this dark realm seeing what I described.
We’re on the same page—I’m referring to metaphysical work as being intentional energy manipulation rather than just existing in the physical world, which, as you pointed out, we all do all the time. As you probably know, when someone has been intentionally manipulating their mental and physical energy, they sometimes get spontaneous effects a little bit later, so I was wondering if this event could be related to that.
It’s definitely a strange occurrence. In my opinion, I would be a little worried about the random onset of it. Definitely be careful in case another moment like this strikes when you could be put in danger. It may be worth seeing if you can develop any skills to pull yourself out of it as an emergency measure. Magick is as much about turning it off as it is about turning it on.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
Huh
Actually, I am in really bad shape financially. I pay money to my ex-wife as part of our divorce settlement, among other bills... I just had no choice but to make you pay for lunch the other day. I'm really sorry.
Are you quoting something
Metal Gear Solid 2
Ahhh never played it
Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.
What?
It’s a particularly fitting line from the movie Idiocracy.
Ahhh makes sense I don’t watch movies much.
