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
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

“…and I gotta warn you, these fancy European hotels, they got the strangest names, so you better be careful about ordering your ticket. You don’t wanna miss it!” “Yeah sure.” “So the first part’s in January, at the Top Of The World, and the second’s next week, in Summer.” “…pardon?” “I said, it’s in January, at The Top Of The World, and-“ “Where in the world is January right next to summer?” “Oh they’re both 3rd floor.” “What? How’d I get on the 3rd floor?” “Well you gotta order your ticket, first.” “…in January?” “Yes.” “Okay, so I call the ticket office on January 1st and-“ “No no no, you’ll miss it! You gotta so it earlier than that or you’ll be late! You’ll wind up in Summer, next thing you know.” “I don’t know what I know and what I don’t!” “It’s so simple: in January, The Top Of The World.” “Am I doing drugs?” “Why would you be doing drugs?” “How else am I gettin to the top of the world?” “Why, with the stairs of course.” “…okay I think I got my wires all crisscrossed and such.” “Just remember: Summer’s later, January comes first.” “First time you’ve made sense today! So, I get my ticket…sometime, and I go and see the bands in…at…January?” “At January, yes.” “In summer?” “No, that’s next week. Now that one’s at the top of The World.” “…they got booze at the top of the world?” “Try telling me they don’t” “Good, I’m gonna need it. So when I’m in At January, I go-“ “No, January.” “That’s what I said.” “No that’s totally different. It’s happening in January.” “…at the top of the world?” “Yes.” “And just where do you figure that is?” “3rd floor.” “Why am I on third again?”
This is next level shit right there
