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.

But mostly underwater.
The whole world is a set of mountains of different heights.
kinda makes the whole "do you prefer to holiday on a beach or on a mountain?" question irrelevant.
And mountains are really the peak of the continent mountain
And the oceans are just really big valleys filled with water
From another point of view, the oceans are just a thin film of water clinging to the surface of this ball of rock.
The depth of the oceans is a rounding error compared to the depth of the planet.
If the Earth were the size of a basketball, it wouldn't even feel wet to the touch because of how thin the oceans would be relatively. Scales are wild
Salt lakes typically have rivers containing trace amounts of salt flowing into them but no rivers flowing out. That means the only way water can leave is through evaporation, but the salts get left behind and the salinity therefore builds up.
I learned this in Geography 101. Then I had a shower thought that the oceans of the world are just a giant salt lake.
Tis known
And the sea is just a big lake. The sea floor a long valley. Fish are valley people. Land animals are mountain folk.
Are the people living in the real mountains sky people?
This is literally true (Hawaii) except when it isn't (Key West)
Landberg?
They mostly come out at night...mostly.
