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.

Why is the Shower Thoughts community essentially meta discussion of Lemmy and not, well, shower thoughts?
Because lemmy is new and its one big circle jerk right now, and I like it!
Yeah peeps are in the honeymoon phase.
folks, I prepared the meringue and the butplugs, let's talk about lemmy...
Wait, what's the meringue for?
For your wildest dreams, buddy, for your wildest dreams...
(We lubricate the rattle snake with it, duh)
Now that's wild!
lemmy is too new for its users to have used the shower yet
Wow this is a shower thought itself 😂
Just be glad we're actually taking showers.
Because that’s all we thinking about in the shower these days. Clever things to say about lemmy on lemmy.
The showerthoughts subreddit was ridiculously overmoderated, so 90-99% of posts just get removed.
This one is basically unmoderated.
