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.

It sounds like something between a vision and a disassociation. Have you been doing anything that might have brought this on like drugs or metaphysical work? I’m glad you didn’t find it distressing, but it does sound a little like this could be a problem if it happens to you in the car or the grocery store.
Hahahaa yeah I use magic as E=MC^2 and am ascending to godhood. Alongside continuously falling from grace with Lilith.
Though I don’t see a difference between magic and mundane if we are all matter and energy. And magic is energy manipulation.
Also no I was just in the bathroom calm, minding my business and next I’m in this dark realm seeing what I described.
We’re on the same page—I’m referring to metaphysical work as being intentional energy manipulation rather than just existing in the physical world, which, as you pointed out, we all do all the time. As you probably know, when someone has been intentionally manipulating their mental and physical energy, they sometimes get spontaneous effects a little bit later, so I was wondering if this event could be related to that.
It’s definitely a strange occurrence. In my opinion, I would be a little worried about the random onset of it. Definitely be careful in case another moment like this strikes when you could be put in danger. It may be worth seeing if you can develop any skills to pull yourself out of it as an emergency measure. Magick is as much about turning it off as it is about turning it on.
