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.

This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.
I don't have any inherent disagreement, but I feel like I'm gonna need you to show your work. Can't you have beef pepperoni? that feels very close to milk, and only a step away from cream.
Garlic Ice Cream has entered the chat.
Yum, frozen salad dressing
Go back to Gilroy
That sounds Korean AF
I tried it, it's basically garlic flavored vanilla ice cream. I'm glad I tried it, would not seek it out again.
Both are animal fat products
Dude your mom’s an animal fat product
...and I like eating all three...
And all three abandoned me no wait what
The culinary opposite of pepperoni is coconut milk.
The culinary opposite of coconut milk is haggis.
The culinary opposite of haggis is leafy greens
Coconut milk ice cream
No it's not
They're both Italian, ice cream can be non-sweet, there must be bigger opposites!
Wouldn’t it be gelato vs pepperoni?
Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
Not a question, but I challenge you to explain yourself.
You've either had too much pepperoni, or too little ice cream...
Either way, you owe us all an explanation. Or ice cream. I'll accept ice cream.
but no pepersplaining please
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
I would say salsa
I would say guacamole
Tangent: one if my roommates discovered a recipe for an avocado-based chocolate mouse. She hates it when I call it chocolate guacamole, guacolate, or chocomole.
I'd say they're in a somewhat similar realm of consistency so no
You know, I ain't mad at that.
Don't agree, but I can dig the vibe.
Now, I would have said salad, personally, as the opposite of ice cream, or maybe barbecue.
They’re both high in fat so no, it’s not.
But I enjoy eating both.
Together? Pepperoni flavored ice cream? Ice cream flavored pepperoni? Where do you draw the line? 🤔
... t-together?
Why would you say something so brave, yet so controversial?
Key lime pie makes a great dessert after spicy Mexican food.
And here i am, thinking that the opposite of icecream was Surströmming
Bonus: at one point in time, there was ice cream served with pepperoni Apparently
You caught some heat in the comments but this is completely true.
It's almonds imo
No, you can have almonds for dessert.
If you're Italian and therefore demonic then maybe (/s)
