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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Mindlessly petting a cat is like mindlessly washing a knife. (sh.itjust.works)

This was my best showerthought I left on reddit. I didn't want to leave it into the oblivion.

Gotta ask, how did she communicate that she very specifically wanted sliced cucumber?

It was kind of a freak accident really. We rarely kept any cucumbers in the house, but this time we just so happened to have one because we were gonna make a salad.

The cat happened to be in the kitchen when we started slicing it, and she smelled it and basically went batshit crazy going after it LOL! So, we sliced up about a quarter of it for her, and ended up getting her a couple more cucumbers from the store and each day we'd slice her some up around feeding time, until she lost the craving anyways.
