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.

No it isn't; I do make soup out of my cereal like other weirdos.
I tried milk on cereal twice, puked both times. I just always ate dry cereal.
Doesn't your mouth get dry? Do you drink water while eating it? Do you use a spoon and bowl? What cereal do you eat?
I recently found out gluten was a source of trouble (probably coeliac but not confirmed just yet), so none anymore. However, for the first 30ish years of my life: cereal in a bowl with a spoon. Cinnamon Toast Crunch as an adult treat, other boring health cereals (some kinda bran thing, I think a Special K one at some point, etc.), and Alphabits a lot as a kid. Also sometimes Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and others depending upon what we could afford. I would just have some normal beverage alongside it but I don't remember feeling particularly compelled to drink more.
