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.

Ha, what a ...wait, do you think they also don't have a favourite stick?!?

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

There was definitely a time when nobody pretended their favorite stick was a gun.

Or a favourite cave?

I have a jar of rocks and two sticks. That guy doesn't know how to human.

Doing volunteer trail maintenance. All the people swarm the tool pile trying to claim their favorite pick mattock or grub hoe. It's adorable.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're my favorite grub hoe.

Wait till this guy finds out about the Kaaba

Glory to your rock house

My favorite rock has a first name, it's H-O-M-E-R. My favorite rock has a second name, it's H-O-M-E-R.

I have a favourite kitchen knife, so it's plausible

Like I have a favorite spatula.
