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.

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of beans?

More propaganda from big bean. We all know orchids and fruit pits ain't legumes, let alone beans

“The best part of waking up is pits in your cup” just didn’t succeed in audience tests.

Look we start with this and soon enough we're gonna call Pizza an "open faced sandwich" and I can't abide that.

[–] ipha 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Both pizza and open faced sandwiches are actually just toast.

Deep dish pizza...

Is a quiche. It makes so much sense now that I think of it.

Isn't a pizza just a self-important pancake?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

But pancake is a cake and pizza a pie.

[–] scutiger 2 points 2 years ago

Pancakes are made from batter while pizza is made from dough. Rather, I would say that KFC is just deep-fried pancakes.

How dare you sir and/or ma'am?

Maybe I'm stupid (and have no clue about coffee), but what is the 3rd bean besides soy and coffee?

Finally an actual r/showerthought style post and not a Lemmy meta post or TIL.

Coffee isn't made from beans, silly.

[–] RicketyHalo 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

True, it's made from ground up coffee bugs!

[–] Leviathan 5 points 2 years ago

Close! It's Cherry pits! Valiant effort, though.

It was an original thought I laughed my head off with my ex and wrote down with a pen and paper about 15 years ago. So… I guess?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mhmm.. soup..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But it's not juice. Nothing is being pressed or squeezed. It's a solution or a three bean broth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Also, coffee isn't a bean. It's a cherry pit
