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.

I unfortunately watched porn too, and I regret every second I wasted watching porn.
Supported sex trafficking without even knowing, and ruined my life with it.
Not proud of what I did, I am disgusted.
That's why I only jerk off to hentai tentacles porn. My conscience is immaculate, god itself will welcome me into heaven. I am ready.
People don’t like to look at this dimension. They just like to talk about how seeking out porn is natural and normal for teens. I’ve seen a few people around Lemmy make this claim as an argument against doing anything about how we handle pornography in the modern world.
They don’t want to consider the fact that unfettered access to porn from puberty impacts how a whole class of people engage with the world, and with others. Impacts how they socialize, how hard they try in seeking out partners. Etc. It’s a deep subject that just gets dismissed for a variety of shallow reasons.
