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.

The Foot Looker is your friendly neighborhood podiatrist; who can also introduce you to their custom product line, Foot Rocker.
Foot Blocker, meanwhile, sells athletic pads; and Soot Locker sells chimney supplies.
Root Locker and Loot Locker both offer cybersecurity support; while Boot Locker sells Foot Lacker, a knock-off waterproof sealant.
A Foot Mocker is a specialty service involving consenting adults.
Foot Docker is an international spa and resort. Their motto? "A place to put your feet up!"
The Coot Locker is an exotic bird sanctuary, or sometimes off-hand for a retirement community; but this should never be confused with a Toot Locker, which is a respectable medical procedure.
