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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

No you don't. I have one shower in my house with a window in it, and it's an extra special pain in the ass. Window frames and windowsills are full of nooks and crannies and accumulate mildew like you wouldn't believe, and require 600% more cleaning effort than is appropriate to prevent them from doing so.
That, and good luck finding any window treatments that are suitable for use while being constantly soaked. I resorted to making a "curtain" out of a modified shower curtain.
This is what I get for my house being a 1920's redneck abomination where everything is an addition, and what is now the ground floor bathroom is in the spot where the original kitchen was in the 1930's, with the window that used to be over the kitchen sink now directly in the center of the bathtub.
Ok, yes. If you do a window that's gonna get sprayed then it's gotta be aluminum and plastic or whatever. That's a fact. And uv resistant too of course. And that's pretty common in the world of specify your dims and order a nice window.
And there are options for how it opens too. It doesn't have to slide.
