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.

Do they remember smells? How long does their memory last? What are their first memories?

My dogs first memory seems to "car bad" but I don't know why. He barks and will literally spin in his leash and collar on a walk if he sees one drive by.

On /c/FuckCars, no one knows you're a dog.

I asked him if he wanted to post there and he said was bark and jumped at me... I think that's a yes

Are you are it isn't excitement?

Many dogs were bread to chase

Sometimes I see his excitement. Like when I grab his leash. The funny thing is he is smart enough to know he needs a leash. One time he pooped, I bent down to pick it like a good pet owner, a car drove by and he pulled causing me to fall and drop his leash. He then ignored car, picked leash with his mouth, and brought it to me as I'm laying on the ground. The car stopped and asked if I was alright and they saw what happened. I slowly got up and and said I was fine, sore for a few days but I recovered.
