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.

I more meant by the wires.
The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.
I plug the cables directly into my eardrums, don't you?
You're supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don't respond correctly to electrical inputs.
Transformers don't physically connect, in a transformer there's a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.
But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!
Sorry friend. Lemmy ShowerThoughts is way too technical.
Oh hey, I recognize that username! Hope you're having a lovely day my friend :)
Have you heard of this thing called The Internet?
Uh the Internet is wireless, Jen.
Uhm akschually you can use RJ45 and get cabled internet
Same idea works for toilets maybe
I would rather not think about that one. Seems a lot less romantic
Like how kissing is like connecting two long tubes with buttholes on either end?
i didn't need to read that, but yes!
Farthing together is love, not romance
the family that farts together, stays together.
Maybe just not in the same room.
Farths*
What is the sound of one penny farthing?
A high pitched whistle slowly fading off?
Just not in the same room.
Hopefully there's an air gap to prevent that.
I think I've been doing toilet wrong
Me and my neighbors have pooper party then :D
And a few adult massagers.
If you're alive you're connected to all things and everything indirectly. Also if you're dead.
Because of midichlorians?

That might have made more sense.
There's no definite "edge" of a proton or an electron, they just continue out asymptotically to infinity (I've been told)
if you're walking on earth, you're probably connected to someone. or showering. or breathing. or anything...
When you’re taking a shit, you’re connected to multiple other peoples arses via the sewer network.
Often times I’ve wondered how many people are fucking at a specific moment.
I think about this a lot. And usually wish I was one of them.
You likely aren't because most power supplies are fully isolated.
