Showerthoughts

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.

BaskinginmyownfilthThoughts doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

anecdote: during the pandemic every day seemed the same. i sometimes forgot ro shower for a few days. so i put a water sensor in my shower. when i shower, it starts a macrodroid automation that records the date. another macro plans and reminds me when it's shower time.

Nah, they didn't say anything about implementing voice activation by the command "engage".

Excuse me, I shower once a fortnight whether I need it or not!

[–] UnpluggedFridge@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

My shower thoughts are always repeating cycles of "fuuuuuuuck this feels niiiiiiiiice" and "time to turn up the heat a smidge." Am I doing it wrong?

Yes. Not enough daydreaming about winning arguments, mixed with intrusive thoughts and general self-loathing.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

my shower thoughts are always "God damnit get this shit over with, I want to get out of this fucking water coffin already.... I wonder what would happen if you cooked rice in milk? GOD DAMNIT WHY CANT WE HAVE STAR TREK SONIC SHOWERS YET"

Once a day is definitely not too much.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Excuse me, but do you know how many people I have to kill to take a shower around here?

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Sir, this is a Wendy's. You're not allowed to shower around here. You have to go home to do that.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 9 points 1 year ago

I'm only subbed because I'm too disabled to shower myself.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't ever have philosophical thoughts in the shower. I just think ordinary things that people usually think of outside the shower. And I shower once a week, so... yeah idk what a "shower thought" is. But I just come here for the philosophy goodness.

[–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Similarly, people interested in philosophy (and other theoretical stuff) might take a break and think of different things like "but how's the soap made, anyway?".

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recently looked up how to make soap. Shit's complicated.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

First, you need some fat. And the best fat comes from people.

Everyone in this comment section needs to stop what they're doing and switch to Arch. I use Arch btw. Did you know that you don't have to regularly take a shower to be allowed to use Arch?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Wow. ! It's a match made under the arches of heaven !

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I cunt believe you've done this...
