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 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.

Your tongue is also super tactile. We spend most of our toddler years discovering this.
You can look at anything around you, anything, and your brain knows exactly what it would be like to lick it, even if you've never done it before. Taste, texture, residue etc.. it's quite freaky
Oh and my thighs are really good at imagining my phone just buzzed.
Yeah, if you tilt your head back and pretend you're shaking a salt shaker into your mouth, you will actually taste salt.
I don't taste anything. Does it matter how hard I shake it?
You have to close your eyes, open your mouth wide and put your tongue out for the desired effect. Maybe it helps if you have some bystanders who cheer you on.
Thanks... My body doesn’t really need sleep anyway.
Creamy
inner or outer?
Siri, how do I unthink a thought?
Alcohol, ridiculously large amounts of
Weed is better for forgetting. Alcohol is better for not caring.
I'm going to lick everything tonight.
MDMA is better for that
As long as you don't need a functional penis.
Can confirm. Licked the outside of a subway cart once. Truly horrific.
When I was an adolescent, I dreamt that I performed oral sex on a woman by putting my entire head inside of her vagina. Turns out that cunnilingus is nothing like my premonition, but I certainly had the texture figured out.
There are 100% women who would be into that. I'm not saying they're common, but I may have met at least one of them.
