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.

Bill Gates is a pedo who spent a ton of time with Epstein, which is likely why his wife divorced him.
Musk didn't create Tesla. He bought it, and is currently running it into the ground. Employees have compared him to a pidgeon who flies in, shits on everything, and then leaves again. If anything, Tesla's relative success is in spite of Musk, not because of him. Tesla is already starting to lose value due to Musk's antics and the fact that all other manufacturers are making electric cars now, too.
Warren Buffet may be one of the better billionaires, but that's not saying much. He still invests in fossil fuel companies and could give away more of his wealth to charity. And then there's the underlying problem with an economic system that steals living wages from employees to enrich investors like Buffet, but that's a story for another time.
