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.

Good point I should have said lean pocket, I’m pretty sure those aren’t nestle. Edit: Nope still nestle and I guess they’re doscontinued?

Wait. Did you seriously think that Diet Hot Pockets were made by a different company that WASN'T owned by Nestle?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean it should be expected, nestle owns so much these days. Very hard to remember everything. Even the frozen lasagna’s are nestle.

Right, but, that's not what I mean.

I'm blown away that you thought that Lean Pockets were made by a company unrelated to Hot Pockets.

Only if you've never had a calzone

or ricotta cheese.

I've had calzone and I always equate the pizza Hot Pockets to one. They are the same thing, but made in a factory with lower quality ingredients.

Yeah exactly. Like most shit frozen pizzas are hardly pizzas but there you go.

But definitely not the low cal calzone zone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Technically it would be low cal compared to a normally sized calzone just because of being significantly smaller.

Lots of shower thoughts actually aren't. This was. Good job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Most of my actual thoughts in the shower revolve around destroying whatever made me leave the house, thus necessitating a shower on THEIR schedule.

I like showers, and love a hot bath.... I don't love water prices here locally.

I feel like they're closer to stromboli

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I always felt like they were close to the microwave

Mini and cheap calzone.
