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.

Thoughts during my 3rd cold shower of the day, trying to keep cool in this muggy weather in the North East

Currently looking into getting a Sphynx and this is literally the number one surprise/complaint from people. They stain your clothes with their oils so you need to watch them weekly. Personally I don’t mind and am excited to have my naked hairless friend.

I look at my cat everyday and it's not a Sphynx.

Horses sweat... It blew my mind when I discovered that first hand.

Oh yeah, great moment for me as well. „Can you hold the saddle for a moment?“ and it was so heavy, wet and smelly.

That’d be gross. But dogs actually sweat through their paws if you didn’t know!

That reminds me of when I was little. We were taking our terrified cat to the vet and I sat with him on the back seat. Petting him, whispering encouragement to the poor thing.
Then suddenly I felt my hand getting wet. Refusing to believe what happened, I told my mom that the cat must be warm because he was sweating all over my hand :p

I'm glad our dogs and rabbits are not sweating like we are.

No. Just no. I prefer to think happy thoughts, thank you very much.
