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.

Yeah. The showerthoughts on Lemmy have been brutal.
Mostly "showerbadtakes", yeah.
They sucked on reddit too.
Yeah probably, they were just filtered by popularity which made it appear better than it was.
Your hair is the roof of your mouth.
Does that make our brain cavity the attic?
It's where I keep my piles of disorganised trash
that's where the cobwebs are.
Fat does insulate.
I would say that the hair is the set of raccoons that hang out on the roof of the house and do weird shit at unexpected times.
I think hair might be accessory to the nature of “roof”. Hair is more the chimney of the mouth.
Unless you're Micheal Jordan.....or Stone Cold Steve Austin.....or Goldberg......or.....
Either way, i ate a bunch of sour patch kids and it's fucked
Hot pizza rolls straight from the oven = DIY popcorn ceiling.
The brain is above the mouth so as thought we 'look' down at it. Therefore we are looking from above at the roof.

If a roof is an exterior representation of an internal ceiling, and the top of your mouth is the roof, then what is the mouth's ceiling?
I propose the tissue at the top of your mouth is both. With the lower surface your tongue touches being the cieling, and the upper surface leading to your sinuses being the roof.
roof
| ro͞of, ro͝of |
noun (plural roofs | rufs, rʊfs |)
- the structure forming the upper covering of a building or vehicle.
- the top inner surface of a covered area or space; the ceiling: the roof of the cave fell in.
- used to signify a house or other building, especially in the context of hospitality or shelter: helping those without a roof over their heads | they slept under the same roof.
Annihilated.
But there's no source.
Roof roof! Rrrrrr-roof
Which dictionary is that?
The New Oxford American.
In portuguese we call it the 'sky' of your mouth
That's even higher than the roof!
When it comes to talking for brazilians, the sky is the limit!
And doing something behind my back would actually be in front of me?
Your scalp is the roof and your brain is the attic
That’s why it’s called shingles.
You sound like my dad. He never misses an opportunity to point out that the roof is on the outside of the house.
He sounds like a decent human being.
You're right. I suppose the actual roof of my mouth is the top of my skull.
And the nose is the awning of the mouth.
It's the chimney.
Awning of the mouth. Chimney of the lungs.
Chimning of the louth.
I burned the tent of my dent when the tea I was sent did not have a vent.
Would that make a mustache a gable?
