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: 1

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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
Posts must be original/unique

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.

Lucid dreaming is like being Neo in The Matrix (dubvee.org)

I've tried and failed to train myself to do it, but I've only lucid dreamed twice in my life, both times by accident.

It's like the ultimate VR sandbox where you can go, do, or create anything you can imagine.

Better watch out then. You might end up going through several boss fights, some of which seem to go on forever. In the end, you also sacrifice yourself, so there’s no way for you to win.

I think it's different for everyone. I remember as a kid, I had the same scary dream so many times that I would know I was dreaming when it was happening.

It was always about me being chased by some guy and I couldn't run properly so he would catch up with me and stab me in the back. And I remember it hurting enough that I wanted to avoid it.

So one time I just refused to run, turned around and faced the guy. I don't remember if anything happened but I remember I never had that dream ever again.

Face your fears. True story.
