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.

Bro took a long shower I guess.
That we don't have a clear path in life just like other animals. I'm not seeing what's wrong with this post.
If it was written like you did, it would fit the format. This is just a wholesome post, which we already have multiple communities for.
Love this! I am going to print this up, frame it, and put it in my kids’ rooms so they can have a daily reminder. Thanks OP!
PS. You shouldn’t take such long showers. It wastes water. 😉
Some places we don't have a water shortage.
Life is meaningless, there is no purpose, we are all just making it up!
Enjoy it, help other people enjoy it too and live your life!
I liked the part about not focussing on bringing new life but improving the existing ones. We have so many people here and just need to talk.
This post got reported.
The reporters are correct, you should have the entire thought in the title, then use the body to go into detail.
For example your title could have been "life is largely random circumstance, so relax".
Shower thoughts aren't typically advice for other people, unless you take showers with other people to save water, but it's nice advice and it embodies the positive community that the code of conduct is designed to encourage.
Altruism as the antidote to cynicism.
Thanks.
I mean, I'd say like...you don't need to treat animals better than you treat humans. But also, you absolutely are entitled to loving your pets. But also like...if you want kids, have them. Even if you're broke. Where there's a will, there's a way. Just try not to be a piece of shit. We've rocked it thus far in life, I don't think we need to pair "you be you beau-beau" logic with "by the way, fuck natalism" stuff at the end. But that's just me. Life is all about them breaths though. Keep the out-breath a smidgen longer than the in =)!
Thanks for sharing cool things on Lemmy
Kurt Vonnegut would love this.
