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.

Cheers. I couldn't find a crazy ideas equivalent so I settled here as it is a sort of shower thought.

I love a good weird niche community, thanks for sharing. Recently also joined [email protected], similar vein

Hear hear. This is quite literally a shitty million dollar idea

I much prefer this to when the pharmacists sniff at my butt at entry and then give advice on diet and nutritional supplements.

Pharmacy dogs that takes a sniff at your butt at entry and gives advice on diet and nutritional supplements.

Kind of reminds me penis inspection day back in school

[–] Eheran 5 points 3 months ago

But that wasn't the real penis inspector...

I don't think they do that to kids anymore...

* Dog sniffs my butt then walks to one of those programmable phrase button mats * "Lose weight, fatso!"

"...who programmed that button?"

"speak to the Pharmacist about ozempic today"

[–] pennomi 5 points 3 months ago

I guess you could think this while in a shower.

I don't listen to diet advice from my doctor, why would I listen to a dog?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Train them to point at ultra common smells, then scam the customer saying it means need to eat some ultra expensive supplement, but only today there's a buy two get one free promotion

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well I... I mean, it's not... I guess? Hm 🤔

Ripe for abuse like current advice based on personal genetics. There's so much malarkey already sold in the over-the-counter (non-prescription) pharmacy area of US stores, more scams would fit right in.

advice: woof wof, wof woof wof, wooof wof.

Better a sniff dog than an over-enthusiastic proctologist.

Colonoscopy was a walk in the park compared to the gastroscopy tube. That hard metal thingy made me feel like victim of the Alien.
