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.

I take solace in the fact that there must be minute traces of my own piss in there as well.
And when you swim, you're swimming in Elton John's jizz.
Fuck, I need to get a pool!
I always swim in T. rex blood…. Well more like homeopathic dilution of it but that only makes it more potent.
Maybe it all travels together so one person gets the full Marilyn before passing it on.
Every glass of water you drink is basically statistically guaranteed to have a free sample of hydrogen atoms that were once sold as gamer girl bath water by Belle Delphine
Just MM's pee floating around in our water supply the past 60 years? Nobody else's pee? What's going on?
Oh you're a people person eh? Name every people then!
This is clearly nonsense, some people don't shower every day.
Reminds me of a thought experiment, which, with some assumptions, calculated that the final solution while preparing a homeopathic "medicine" contains more Hitler's piss than whatever the active ingredient was originally. Y'know, in case the fact that, in quite a few of those, a molecule of said active ingredient corresponds to more molecules that are estimated to exist within the observable universe isn't enough

You can't call it the final solution 😭
They knew
Don't whant to judge but: What a strange thought mate, are you OK?
No, I'm not ok. But that also has nothing to do with this showerthought
WHO ARE YOU TO ACCUSE ME
Interesting train of thought. When you considered this, what were you doing in the sh... umm... You know what? Nvm. Just wash your hands when you're done.
But every time I wash my hands I get piss on them!
Which proves homeopathy. I bet you haven't been plagued with Marilyn Monroe recently.
Also Marilyn Manson's. And not just piss.
We're also inhaling her recycled farts..
It's likely that there's some water molecules that were part of her piss, but it's definitely not piss anymore
Boooo fuck you!
OMG yum!
I am reminded of those water bottles that have encouragements to drink water printed on them. This could be a powerful source of motivation for some
Bill gates drank water that was filtered from raw sewage and I will never forget that.
Where do you think your tap water comes from?
From Bill Gates' asshole juice, obviously.
My friends and I say lakes are Napoleon’s Urine.
Assuming 1.5 L/day for 36 year and Earth’s freshwater volume of 3.5 × 10¹⁹ L, that would be a concentration of ~0.00000000056 ppm, if perfectly mixed.
A 50 L shower has ~1.7×10²⁷ water molecules... assuming perfect mixing of her water in Earth's freshwater.... roughly 1 trillion Monroe-source water molecules per shower.
And now I am regretting my life decisions.
