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.

When I was about 12 years old, I had a friend who lived in an apartment building. It had a roof you could go outside and walk on. So, we did what any kid would do. We grabbed some cans of soda, drank them in the ally, and then grabbed some sidewalk chalk, and a ruler. We then placed the cans in 3 foot distance intervals.

The rule was, if we could stand on the roof, and pee into the cans (so, like 5 stories tall, and probably 10-30 feet away from the building), then the opponent would have to drink that can.

Luckily my friends have terrible aim.

My trick shot is to aim for washing the poo spots out of the bowl.

If you're peeing in the shower it's not like you have to worry about splashback. If it's shower over bath tub, put the plug in and try to propel a rubber duck up to the other end.
