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.

Given we learned way too many men think it’s gay to wipe your butt after popping

I very much doubt they’re washing their ass either

It's obviously not gay to wipe your butt but every time you poop is excessive. Unless you have some kind of GI issues, once every ten poops is plenty. Anything more than that is just wasteful

That's why I have a poop counter so I can keep track

Sounds over-engineered, unless your “poop counter” is nine brown smears on the toilet lid.

I make those smears with the poop knife

Poopy knife, happy wife!
