Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Thought this after dropping my body wash 3 times in the same shower session.

This is the most "showerthought" shower thought ever. Congratulations.

That's what soap-on-a-rope is for

It doubles as a sap.

Don't worry, nobody would kill you for dropping the soap!

[–] Weslee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I would have thought dropping the soap alot "accidentally" would make you more popular with the other inmates.

Soap bars. How quaint.

Maybe you drop it enough to really enjoy prison.

Your id is trying to tell you something.

At first I thought you meant id as in username and couldn't figure out the correlation, then I realized you meant id as in subconscious and it made way more sense.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I momentarily forgot the word "subconscious," if you can believe it.

Survive? The idea isn't that you'll get killed for it.. was that what you thought or did you somehow not realise the thought doesn't make sense?
