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.

Have you ever held a dying person? You know when it's over.
I can speak to this, though with a dog rather than a human. She lost control of her bowels and bladder when she went. I feel for the dude next to me in the waiting room at the vet. He was probably there to get shots for his cat or something and wasn't expecting a dog to buy the farm right there.
Coming soon to self-driving cars: Grandad comes to visit from Kansas, but he's been dead for five hours.

This matter was urgently escalated with priority to the Higher Intelligence Executive Oracle Cluster (codename Steve). Steve's analysis considered proximity to medical facilities covered by #A-7713's insurance plan, in combination with his worsening condition and determined that a euthanization was the best, most humane course of action for all parties. ordered me to initiate procedure 6-7 to euthanize my occupant.

Holy hell!! That is something straight out of the Chevy Chase vacation movie!
Have you tried handling a limp body before? Crowd surfing works when you spread out your arms and legs and stiffen your body. When they suddenly go floppy, you'll be on the ground fast.
The heaviest thing to carry, besides a body, is your emotions and shame. A body is a CLOSE second. Which is why you always move a body with friends! After the whole is dug, shoot your accomplices and just slide their bodies into the hole. Can't go around having people that can testify against you 🤗
The opening scene of xXx ends with a corpse getting crowd surfed at Rammstein.
Does your shower happen to be built on Indian burial ground?
People would notice once the bowels released.
When you die, you'll lack pincher and blatter control. The result will be obvious.
Depends on the concert.
NGL, I am impressed by this reply.

Yeah you'd probably be up there a while lol
:) I have to give you this one 🫣
People = shit
Pincher and Blatter I: The Surf
*sphincter
“Excuse me, I have to go sphincter a loaf.”
I don’t know. It just doesn’t have the right ring to it.
Nope. It's pincher now.
My bad
There's pit angels though. Usually one every few metres. They're the big guys, usually tall, often wearing white shirts for some reason. They're the people that manage to clear space in seconds, pick a little person back up off the ground, and get them out of the zone. They're also great at retrieving lost shoes and returning them to the owner before they get surged to a different location. They'd notice a dead crowd surfer instantly.
A hairy, beary angelic dude once pulled me out from behind the barriers at an In Flames concert, back in their Come Clarity (or Reroute?) days. I had landed in front of some speaker fucken skyscraper. The volume was indescribable.
Be hard to do before rigor sets in.
