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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Do you want to see me chewing gum? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I can never see that face the same again ever since I was in a 9 month relationship with a girl whose snapchat name was the lenny face and eventually I forgot her name, was too embarrassed to ask her to remind me (because it had been like four months), so I spent the next ~5 months of my life with a psychoromantic connection to that fucking emoticon.

That's hilarious. What a time to be alive

The one saving grace of Facebook, everyone using their real names so you can find them.

But in the end, not worth it - the younger generations have made the wise sacrifice by not using it and just guessing everyone's names lol

Are you a living episode of Seinfeld? This sounds like a scenario George Costanza would get himself into.

My whole life I thought I was Costanza... turns out... I'm Kramer.

Did you ever figure out her name? I hope it was Linda.

Yes, but this was also the name of Seinfeld's girl.
