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.

Yeah, that’s me. Over the last 10 years, I’ve watched 51 movies in theaters. Only a few of them were movies I actually wanted to see.
I’m trying to stop doing this, but it’s hard because my friend group has terrible taste in movies, and they get upset if I don’t come along.
This Thursday we’re going to see Avatar 3, and I have no interest in it. It’s also a very long movie and starts late at night. The next day I need to wake up early for a pretty important workday. I need to start standing up for myself more...
Grow a spine, mate! The best thing I've done for myself was learning my own boundaries and how to enforce them.
avatar 3? how many are there? I thought there was just that 1 with the 3d glasses
Indeed a 3rd one is coming to theatees soon. Personally, I'm waiting for disney+ for this one
