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.

There should be a “shower thoughts mode” in the shower so after you clean yourself, the current water used in the shower is recycled and reheated. In this way you can keep shower thinking without (social.graves.cl)

This could be a variation on the traditional Japanese bath. The way that works is you fill up a tub and use this big ladle thing to pour water over yourself and wash up outside the bath. (The whole bathroom floor is tiled and has a drain in the middle.) Then, once clean, you can climb into the bath and warm up.

I remember thinking when I was in Japan that you could replace the ladle with some sort of pump that draws water out of the tub and runs it through a shower head. Then you can take a short regular shower before climbing into the bath. But now, if you cleaned up and then stepped into the bath with the shower head dumping into the tub, you would effectively have "shower thoughts mode" right?
