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.

You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.
Sheesh.
Some things probably should stay on Reddit. Like poop-knives.
Along with Jolly Ranchers and guys who break both of their arms.
And Colby
I remember the jolly rancher story, but not the one where they broke both their arms.
It goes way back. That one must be at least 8 years old.
Let’s see… according to Know Your Meme it’s from 2011. You’re probably better off not reading about it.
Hopefully I never have to see or hear "poop-kinives" ever again.
I was expecting some rando to comment on this with his fediverse username related to something poop-knify. Might still happen.
Unfortunately it's become part of internet lore, I think it will last a long time as a reference or old in-joke. Luckily Lemmy is also giving us new ones, like beans or the 3-day no-poop challenge.
WHAT ABOUT MY TOE KNIFE
Tip: Just like on old Reddit, you have to use two spaces after a line to get a proper line break.

This will outlive us, no matter the platform.
I'm sorry, the what now?
The poop-knife.
Fellow poop knife enjoyers i see!
wtf are you doing with your poop knife to enjoy it? Poop knifing should be all business, sir.
It's fine, the poop-knife gets wiped off when I start cutting up my food

I have a family member that had to use a poop knife growing up and I always wondered if that story was him....
