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.

I was just thinking about that while watching youtube last night. "This recipe is so easy I make it every day!" No you don't, you fucking liar. I can't make your recipe now because it'll taste like lies.

Now there's something you can make at least once a day!

People with constipation looking from afar unamused as hell.

Hold one in for a few days and tell me you wouldn't look like that too!

Last Monday we made sausage and spinach strombolis. 1/2 hot & 1/2 mild Italian sausage, chopped frozen spinach (thawed and drained), mozzarella and parmigiana cheese. Brown the sausage, cool it, mix with the spinach and cheese, wrap individually into single-serving strombolis. Roughly three pounds of sausage makes 12 strombolis.

We've been eating them every day since Monday and had the last two yesterday.

I wouldn't make it every day, but only because a recipe makes 12. However, I wanted to make it again after six days of eating them so I could eat them for another six days.

People say fake shit on teevee... Don't watch them, they are being dishonest!

There are meals we make that we eat like five times that week so we tend to never make anything once week even. Will make it regularly but take a week break from it at least.

If they lied about that, so casually and unnecessarily, what else will they be lying about? The rat poison to taste as the special ingredient?
