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.

More people are distracted by their phones on the toilet than in the shower

Can confirm. Commenting from the throne.

What a throwback to the golden age of meme culture.

[–] nei7jc 1 points 2 years ago

hahaha I wish I was kidding but some people do.

There are actually more cells in our brain than brains in our entire body

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like you're having diarrhoea, my friend.

[–] azuth 11 points 2 years ago

The thinker. Does he look like taking a shower?

I rest my case.

It’s called shitposting.

[–] tun 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What does he want to be a toilet thought?

Does somebody know how to create a community?

[–] gdbjr 7 points 2 years ago

Hard disagree. I’m on my phone while on the toilet. In the shower I have nothing but the voices in my head to listen to.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I make up songs in the shower, I do not sing when I shit

[–] j4k3 3 points 2 years ago

Lier! Everyone has a tuba playing for the base notes. Some even play the bassoon. Legend has it, if you hold off the performance for more than 3 days, you'll find you can play the flute.

I find most interesting thoughts are as I fall asleep.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sometimes while falling asleep, I'd start thinking the weirdest shit, only to realize how weird the my thoughts are.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

the no poop post was rumored to be a toilet thought

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Only if I forget my phone in the toilet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And if I don't have thoughts on either what's my problem?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you one of those people who don't have an internal dialogue?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well yea I do talk internally to myself, but not "shower thoughts", I wish I did tho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you wake up with eureka moments?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not often, and they are not quite the level of a showerthought

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

3 days without pooping is 3 days wasted

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

On the toilet, I seem to be better at problem-solving. But in the shower tend to come up with new* and deeper thoughts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But in the shower tend to come up with you

😨 😨 😨

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Bloody Siri

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Shower beats toilet for thinking, every time! Its the steam! My toilet rarely steams.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which kind of thought was this one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I applaud you for your honesty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Me more for their patience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Excremeditation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Why? You got one of those $4k butt massaging lazy boy toilets? I wouldn’t say most of us have them on the toilet.
