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.

No it's part of survival. Turns out our stupid bodies implode if not used for a whole.

Ya I only exercise so I don't get fat and die.

One of those will still happen.

I got fat does this mean I'm immortal?

That's the flex. You can exist for decades without ever picking a single berry and hunting down wooly mammoths

The flex isn't that we exercise, it's that we exercise for the sole purpose of exercising. Most "natural" exercising is just used to get food/shelter/etc.

...what? You don't do pushups or run around your home to pass up time/self-distraction? Huh, I thought that was the most common/normal thing ever.
