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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

this place has the best garlic bagels. i take them lightly toasted with either cream cheese or this garlic oat butter we found at the greengrocer's. i would like to try them with this great garlic herb goat cheese (it's the roll) BUT MY WIFE ATE THE LAST GARLIC ONE edit i can think of a few more cheeses with which to try the garlic bagels i lack

Mmm, you’ve got me craving a garlic bagel now! I’ve been meaning to buy some next at my local bagel shop. I’ve been keen on everything bagels for some time now. Still have a few left in the freezer. I toast my bagels first in a skillet with salted butter, then add a layer of cream cheese on top. Delicious! Give it a try if you haven’t:)
