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.

What if aliens caused inflation by stealing small amounts of cocoa beans from lakeside resorts?

Your shower needs more airflow

Is this a shower thought, or a "damn I'm high, why am I naked in the yard while it's raining, while shoving a loofah up my ass" thought?

The latter, but its also raining.

Sounds like a good time to me

That's when I get my best ideas. And a clean colon.

You need to see the new Wily Wonka movie. (Probably a 7/10 movie, good songs, kind of bad plot but enjoyable)

But yeah, stealing Cocoa beans from Oompa-Loompas is a big plot point. And... Oompa Loompas stealing it back is also a thing.

I'm prepared for the fires but I liked it better than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Gene wilder is amazing, but that original movie was just fine. The newer one feels more like the book

Was this shower thought brought to us by AI? Alien Intelligence?

What lakeside resorts have cocoa beans?

I don't know what you're having, but I want some!
