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.

Currently reading this while getting my car washed because there was so much bird shit caked onto it, that it dried and refused to come off for a month

Some of the towers we climb are frequented by Turkey vultures. Mostly out in the country. The top third of the tower is white washed by thier shit.

In the cities, song birds paint the towers in a few disgusting colors.

Bird poo is basically forest tree food. If you wash it away it will sink into the ground and be lost. Plants love it.

The world would be a better place if the rain washed all the shit away.

I have been in some heavy downpours that have done just that.
