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.

As the owner of a reactive dog I disagree with you. If you consider shock collars to be "powerfully negative feedback" you either never used one or used it improperly. My dog is absolutely far happier since I moved to a shock collar. Using it correctly can help a reactive dog actually avoid a lot of pain and suffering (both physically and emotionally)
To be clear, it can cause a lot of pain, but when used correctly you should rearly if ever reach those levels, and on the lower levels it does not cause any pain, instead it causes the muscles to flex causing an uncomfortable but not painful feeling. I used it on myself multiple times before even trying it on my dog, so this is not a guess.
