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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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 can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Not really! I could wear blue jeans and a mens t-shirt and not have to worry about negative reactions. Women’s suits are really common, especially in professional settings. There’s not much I’d be afraid to wear in public. Worst case scenario people would think I’m depressed or sick, I guess.

Yeh. But if you wore budgie smugglers at the beach, you may catch some glimpses. Or be arrested.

Too many budgies, not enough smugglers. Bound to get caught.

Here’s our ex prime minister, smuggling a budgie.

Ok. Thank you. Not a look that works for everyone. Apparently there's an Australian swimwear company with that name. Funny how their womens suits are pretty modest and the men's suits just kind of put it all out there.

I’ve seen some pretty immodest women’s swimwear haha.

Yeah. I'm pretty agreeable to people wearing what they want, but i was a little surprised by mid-day streetwear in Miami.
