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.

Good time to drop an educational reminder that tea isn’t just leaves in hot water but an actual plant. The tea plant, or Camellia sinensis.

A lot of the things that get labeled as “tea” are not actually tea.

Look at you spilling the tea

Most tea-shits are actually made from cotton or polyester too; it's a fucking scandal.

If your shits are made of cotton or polyester I think your diet contains too much fiber…

Yes, if it doesn’t contain actual tea leaves it is technically an infusion.

So coffee is a tisane
