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.

No, but it's highly unlikely since before it's been buttered it doesn't know yet which side to fall upon.

No it just self butters itself whilst falling. Only impossible for it to hit the floor whilst unbuttered.

Wait, self-buttering toast parachutes?! Are we onto something???

This sounds like evil magic I won't have a part of this!

Nope. My toast just fell into the bottom of the toaster oven. I was like 'who ate one of my precious toasties!'. I blamed the dogs. Then I found it. I didn't apologize. Dogs are stupid.

No, it’ll just balance on one of the edges instead of the face

It's not falling - it's diving.
