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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
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.

A nice ripe pear as well.
Bacon wrapped dates.
Lucky you. I've never found a date willing to wrap herself in bacon
Life Pro Tip.
Cook the bacon and let it cool first, before applying.
Ahhh, that’s where I messed up! I forgot to cool the bacon first!
Cool!
Chin up, mate. Your ship will come in some day.
Devils on horseback!
Meat? 😃
Meat flavored? 🤢
Bacon flavor is pretty rad
Jalapeño bacon jam is empirically awesome.
Green tomatoes fried in bacon fat? Sounds pretty good to me.
ikr OP has never been to a US county fair. They take any food, and deep-fry it.
That's not the kind of fruit we're talking about and you know it.
Never heard of BEANS???
The magical fruit?
Isn't that just a fig?
Nowadays you may not find meat, but 'authentic' could still include suet.
Came here to mention mincemeat. Good stuff.
For those of you who have never tried it - it's mostly dark brown sugar, cinnamon, & raisins. But it has that fatty aftertaste you normally associate with bacon as well.
Lots of fruits are good with a bit of bacon. Especially if you have some brie in the mix but not only. Peaches with a caramelized onion and bacon jam, apple slices with a sliver of bacon or salami. Was it elvis who used to like peanut butter banana and bacon sandwiches?
You’ve never had my lamb sausage dusted strawberries obviously.
Maple with a bit of meat sounds good (maple bacon)
Uh, where's the fruit of a maple tree? The sap is good once boiled down, but maple isn't a recognized fruit.
They both sound gross.
Thats because fruit tastes good and meat does not. Adding fruit to meat would better the meats taste, but adding meat to fruit will worsen the fruits taste
