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
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Nowadays we have first world problems, but I wonder if something comparable existed 500 years ago. Maybe city problems?
Oh no, they didn’t have salmon at the fish market, so I had to buy perch instead.
Ahaha, definitely had "royal court" and OG bourgeoisie problems.
"Oh no, my servant lost her leg to an infected toenail and now I hear her peg clomping everytime she walks near!"
That’s comparable to today’s millionaire problems.
Oh no, my Bugatti isn’t blue enough for this event, so I had to drive one of my Lamborghinis instead.
Jesus, I hope that didn't happen to you!
Fortunately, there was a simple solution: Buy a new Bugatti on the way to the party.
