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 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.

They're a secondary sexual characteristic, so it seems like something that would get attention.

People are into all sorts of things, I'm sure it's a turn-on for a few people. But yeah, very niche.

I learned recently some folks are turned on by those dimples that some people have on their lower backs, AKA dimples of Venus.

One of the strangest fetishes I've heard about was from a dude I used to work with. He told me he was into watching girls eating hamburgers. Especially when they take a big bite. He really emphasized that part to me. I feel bad because I remember struggling to keep a straight face and this guy just wanted to open up to me about something he normally hides. Ugh

He must have loved those Hardee's commercials from 20 years ago.

Oh man, I wonder if that's how it started! I remember those, with the hot girl devouring the messy burgers. Lol

Taking "sex sells" to its logical conclusion.

Let’s be real here. Cheeseburgers sell themselves.

That one sounds almost wholesome compared to some of the really weird stuff like diapers.

But yeah, that must have been a very awkward conversation. I'd have probably laughed, unfortunately. Not in a judgmental way. I think someone smarter than me said that we laugh at things that don't make sense to us.

Haha true about it seeming pretty wholesome. Yeah I definitely wasn't judging him, it was just so random. But I would have felt awful if he thought I was judging him. Luckily I don't think he did, because he went on for another minute or so about it.

Actually we laugh at things that suddenly make sense. Laughing at things that make no sense is an attempt to get into that headspace.

Back dimples are so fucking sexy
