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.

It is, indirectly, a cause of a common fetish: a nice, deep, bass-filled voice. Lots of women appreciate that.
I used to play Counter Strike a lot, and I generally played with randoms. It feels weird (but in a nice way) the number of people who have told me how nice or attractive my voice is. Admittedly it was mostly guys, and I'm straight, but it's still a good compliment to get. I did make a lot of female friends on there though, with me consistently playing with one group. I don't know if this is because of my voice or because I just treated them normally, but the voice didn't hurt.
... I don't really know why I wrote this. I guess just as a general agreement women like rumbly voices, which I don't think was needed. Oh well.
Complements are nice regardless of gender or orientation. Was flattering to be called cute by guys even if I wasn't interested in them :)
I ended up dating a girl because she heard my voice on vent during a PUG raid in WoW. Was a mistake in the long run, but very flattering at the time.
I know this "seems" correct, but I'm curious if there's actually a strong correlation between prominent adam's apples and deep voices? In my experience, it's not particularly strong. Plenty of guys with big adam's apples don't have deep voices and plenty of deep voiced men don't have prominent adam's apples.
It looks correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_apple
