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 always think to myself.....
"Cats are weird, because cats are weird. But they all have different personalities. Yet you kind of understand what a cat will or won't do. A cat will never starve itself, because he just doesn't like the concept of food. It may eat less than another cat. I've had a fat cat, and a skinny cat. The skinny cat liked eating some food when it wakes up. Then it would save half the meal until later. Well what the fat cat would do is eat all of her half, and then wait for the skinny cat to walk away. Then she'd eat the skinny cats remains. We had to start locking up the skinny cats leftover food, and put the fat cat in the bathroom before we gave the skinny cat the other half.
Then one night the skinny cat wouldn't eat. At all. She was sick. She died that same night. It wasn't because she varied from other cats in her willingness to eat food. It was because she knew she was going to die.
But then you look at humans. Humans are weird, because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SPECIES??? Some of them are 80lbs as adults, and you can count their ribs, and they refuse to eat because they think they're too fat.
Then there's others who are 700lbs, and eating whole turkeys by themselves, and afterwards claiming they're still hungry.
And thats just food. Humans are weird in every single way.
One time in 2006 I was waiting outside best buy for a Wii. It's 2am, negative 5 degrees outside, store doesn't open until 10am.
Guy in front of me had a tent, and an extension cord, and a tv, and a vcr, and a microwave. He had a tent apartment basically.
So this guy is watching Jurassic Park in his tent. I can't see it, but I can hear it. Ilove that movie. Favorite movie, and I can "see" it, just by hearing it.
He gets to the T-Rex paddock breakout scene. THE iconic scene of the whole franchise. An iconic scene in cinema all around.
He stops the movie there. He STOPS the movie!!! And instead plays Seinfeld episodes.
Humans are weird.
Can we get this AI tale of nonsens removed please?
You think I'm AI? You realize I'm a mod at fuck_ai, right?
My butthole smells like fuck.
Good luck getting an AI to say THAT! Also, please hate the wealthy. Forget racism. Forget religious divides. Forget every other social divide there is......except fuck the wealthy, free Luigi, and fuck the police.
Neat
