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.

For me it's different, it's when I sneeze and fart at the same time.
Mine just took a shot that landed on my screen
Why do I want to try this?
I already have plenty of pictures of Shrek.
It's hard to screenshot dreams because you are in your dreams and have very low conscious control over your real body.
But you can start the screen recording before you goto sleep so that it'll be recorded automatically. You can extract frames. Good luck.
I'd actually love that. Last night I dreamed I was playing something akin to X-Wing Alliance with my dad's Thrustmaster joystick and actually feeling the g-force of all the movement. The fucking alarm clock went off while I was trying to land inside a Star Destroyer (which had an entire brick interior decor for dream reasons) after bombing its turrets.
Sounds like a dream!
Or Save Replay 🔴 of cool shit that just happens in real life.
That would be so cool. I often dream about taking pictures of wonderful landscapes, but the phone has always some kind of problem that prevent me to do so. Sometimes I also have the explicit thought of "damn, too bad I'm in a dream and it won't save to my phone anyway".
Yeah, it's weird that your brain always avoids the thing. Same with going to the toilet in dreams. I wonder what trains your brain to avoid the thing.
You can once they release recall for humans
Keep in mind it will be ad supported
Wow! I dreamt about Brawndo??
You sure did 😉
Your screenshot will be free but there will be an embedded watermark unless you pay for a subscription.
So much so.
Damn you made me remember last night's dream where I handed someone three bags, one of them contained dirt, one nutella, and one poop. They were all indistinguishable visually and somehow not even via smell. And then I ran away. I don't know why I was so panicked that they would come after me but I woke up panicking.
I still remember yesterday night's dream where I was being driven to the coast in Portugal, where Portugal was just a 1km wide strip. I have never been to Portugal.
Now you have been, bro. Now you have been.
I get nightmares almost every day so i think i’m good. I don’t wanna see that again
Talk to your doctor about prazosin. It's done wonders for me. I don't dream at all when I take it.
This would be a great Monkey's Paw post.
Granted. You can now screenshot your dreams.
They get deleted at the end too
I had a pretty cool dream and remembered most of it right before I woke up. I wrote it down for my big Hollywood screen play...
Wouldn't share that around the office. My last dream was of encasing my boss in lego.
Yes but I still think there should be a social network where you could voluntarily share these dream screenshots with other people.
