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.

Why? I've known several people who do this, it's totally fine. I'm sure for some people it would leave you with really greasy hair, but otherwise what's the issue? It doesn't smell or anything if that's your concern.

Hygiene, my friend. Hygiene matters. People have been washing their bodies and heads for thousands of years, even many animals do that.

Yes, but hygiene does not always = soap. Everyone's needs are different.

There are different soaps. Please educate yourself.

With water, not shampoo. The first shampoo seems to be from 1930. It's a marketing scheme to sell crap you don't need.

No, that's some conspiracy theory. People were using all kinds of soaps for washing in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. Don't be dumb and disgusting.
