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.

I have to choose one or the other?

A clean toe in a clean butthole is the best of both worlds.

"And." I meant "and," of course.

At least make sure to trim your toenails beforehand

Yeah you do. Sorry, I don't make the rules 🤷

I think any satisfaction derived from either is simply from a feeling of good maintenance and is unremarkable and the fact you have indeed remarked upon it suggests you only wish to draw attention to your anatomy like a floozy.

Are we not floozy-positive in 2026?

[–] Miller@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I meant no suggestion of a negative aspect towards floozihood, I have drunk cider with many such in my life I only noted my comprehension of their intention of attention.

Get a bidet and you can do both at once.

When a sink is available, I have taken to lightly wetting my last butt wipe for that extra clean feeling.
