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.

Wouldn't that be a stew since we're also thickened with fat?

[–] FizzlePopBerryTwist 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a question for Zuno-sama

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, we're too thick to be soup. We're clearly stew.

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, we're quite liquid on the inside. More like puff pastries.

Do you mean to say that we're all danish?

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot 2 points 2 years ago

Meat danish, you may say.

[–] BobbyBandwidth 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would say more like soup dumplings

[–] Skuldug 2 points 2 years ago

More like a dumpling is where I went too!

Are cucumbers a vegan soup?

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

What about tomatoes?

[–] lightingnerd 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A better question to ask is if a person is made entirely of what they eat, and the person only ate vegan meals, then would that person's flesh not also be a vegan meal?

[–] Airazz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, therefore steak is vegan.

[–] lightingnerd 1 points 2 years ago

Class, today we have learned that human steak is a healthy vegan option.

[–] expatriado 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] FizzlePopBerryTwist 1 points 2 years ago

No this was posted BEFORE I found out about that. Also, yikes.

Your body is a sack of soup surrounding a tube.
