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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Either that or you're right with a galosh.

Yes. For instance, if you wear one galosh and one flip-flop while walking through mud puddles, your footsteps will sound like "galosh! flip, flop."

I was thinking galoshes were those things that cover your pants (like a fisherman would wear a long with galoshes) when I read the title but realized that was incorrect, and now I can't remember what those things are called 😩

When I was a kid, my family was so poor, I had 1 shoe and 1 boot. All the kids in school called me Shabooty.
