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

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.

Don't make sitting in the house your identity, I think every older person I know who is still doing all the things they did at 40 has hobbies and a lifestyle that gets them about. There's a group of 70-year-olds on my commute riding mountain bikes daily up the biggest hill in the area, and they're faster than me.

Damn, that's impressive! There's a brutal training hike around here that is unmaintained, rutted up, nastiness that goes 1-2 feet up for every 1 foot forward. My friends and I hike it weekly when we're preparing for a backpacking trip. I'll be struggling my way up the trail with my hiking boots and trekking poles when this little old Japanese lady in low-top trail runners, and tiny jogging shorts, goes running past me. She must be 65 years old, and weighs like 90 pounds, but she's peak fitness. I'll still be heading up the trail when I see her jogging back down. She's honestly an inspiration for me to keep training.
