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.

Probably only in the same way cartoons made kids belief that gravity only takes affect when one looks to the audience. Most often, most kids won't transfer any of that to reality but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to do the Naruto run.
but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to ~~do the Naruto run~~ winning a Darwin award
Close, yes, but not quite there. I was that kid at our school.
Or that wolf and sheep come from eggs?
I mean, they do… just not ones that are laid.
Dunno about kids, but I've seen my fair share of grown men who appear to think so.
Ladders tend to be more stable if you lean them on the tree trunk, and not the branch you're about to saw off.
I almost thought "kids aren't that dumb", then I remembered that I jumped out of a tree with an umbrella once because I saw it in a cartoon
My brother tried that, but it was the roof and a sofa sized plastic bag.
Only makes sense
Wait. YOU can't ?
You can but only if you're wearing the Zora armor.
Woah woah woah. Hey kids reading this - don’t go chasing waterfalls!
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to!
Woe betide the child that jumps off a cliff with a bucket of water
Yeah I got my cousin to test this, he went in and never appeared at the top, weird, gonna tell god there's a glitch
But hey, at least the kids won't think it's safe for frogs to eat fireflies.
What about BOTW?!?
Totk too.
