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:
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.

In 2015, Cookie Monster filmed a viral video titled "Simply Delicious Shower Thoughts with Cookie Monster" for the Mashable YouTube channel. In the video, he explores various New York City museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim, while pondering deep "shower thoughts" about food.
Ketchup is a fruit butter, not a jam.
Cooked, pureed fruit with sugar and spices, no pectin. Not a jam
So to make ketchup, aka a fruit butter, we must first milk the tomatoes, then separate the cream, then churn the tomato cream, then separate the tomato buttermilk.
I had no idea so much went into ketchup.
Tomato butter is a little different, after you separate the tomato buttercream and add seasoning and vinegar, add back the tomato buttercream until the consistency is where you like it
Like...melted butter?
Not sure if joking so I'll answer seriously…
Like apple butter, or pear butter. Maybe it's an Appalachian thing, I dunno. You chop up the fruit, let's say apples, and slow cook them for a few hours. Then puree them, add cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, whatever, and a bunch of sugar. Can the results. We always used small mason jars that had been in the family for God only knows how long.
Grandma wouldn't use a blender, she was old school. She'd add all the ingredients together in a big stock pot, drop a silver dollar in the bottom, and stir for hours, until she couldn't hear the coin move around anymore. I say she stirred for hours, but she'd "enlist" the help of the kids, and later, daughters-in-law, and eventually grandchildren. She was born in 1912, so I reckon it was just her way
Replace cookie monster with Philomena cunk and the picture stays the same
Does anyone else now kind of want to see them do a video together? And, no, im not talking a porn video, although...hmmmm....
Ketchup is a soft drink. It's fluid, made with fruit and sugar
You wouldn't drink mayonnaise
You don't know me
Vodka is an energy drink
Pretty sure my stomach does not think.
Only in the sense that the gut is deeply tied to your emotional state. Example: "that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach"
Not just your stomach, but your entire digestive system actually. It's called the enteric nervous system, and it's absolutely fascinating (the disfunction of which has recently been linked to a lot of different diseases and disorders). From Wikipedia:
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is one of the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the others being the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). The ENS is formed from the myenteric plexus, and the submucosal plexus, and consists of a mesh-like system of neurons that governs the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, including motility and secretion, and is known as the "second brain".
The enteric nervous system is capable of operating independently of the brain and spinal cord
The enteric nervous system in humans consists of some 500 million neurons, 0.5% of the number of neurons in the brain, five times as many as the one hundred million neurons in the human spinal cord, and about ⅔ as many as in the whole nervous system of a cat. The enteric nervous system is embedded in the lining of the gastrointestinal system, beginning in the esophagus and extending down to the anus.
The stomach and heart both have neurons in them.
Cereal is runny oatmeal, which is thick soup, which is heavily dressed salad; thus, cereal is salad.
If, to scorpions, lobsters are mermaids, what are mantis shrimp?

How is cookie dough the sushi of deserts? Does the meme author mean sashimi?
Maybe because you eat both raw? Maybe
Sushi doesn't have to be raw. Sashimi is raw by definition. But yes, that's what they were aiming for.
let him cook, eh
Explain the cookie dough to me please. That one doesn’t make sense to me
Lot of people love to eat the cookie dough raw.
Sushi is raw fish. Cookie dough is raw cookie. And some people eat raw cookie dough as a thing; there are cookie-dough ice cream flavors, for example.
With how much sugar is in that shit it is jam
I was fine 10 seconds ago… now I’m questioning everything 😭
It's a compote
