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.

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

Why do you think about US politics in the shower?

Same reason we think about mistakes we made in high school while we're trying to go to sleep?

Some people get off to politics.

It haunts us like the spectre of death.

Wow yeah, I guess I never sat around thinking "How can I make myself more depressed"

what do you think about in the shower?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Not about politicians in my country, that is for sure. They're the last people I want to think about naked and soapy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

that's why i think about politics more broadly, not politicians.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Damn it now you got me thinking about naked and soapy politicians, now where's the mental eye bleach.

Maybe they just stare blankly at the floor, or read the ingredients on the shampoo bottle again for the 14 thousandth time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

true, that is an option. Staring at the floor is a solid way to spend a shower ngl
