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

My wife and one of our dogs take the same anxiety medicine. No joke, the dog takes a higher dose.

We loved dogs so much we gave them our hopes and our fears.

The cat needs an emotional support dog/parrot/turtle/horse/shark or something.

I got a dog during the pandemic for emotional support because I was living along and only leaving my apartment once a week. My dog's on Prozac 🤷🏻‍♀️
