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.

I mean that everywhere other than church during church time means most of the people around you are at least not Christian. Also you have short lines at checkout as a reward for your beliefs

Your experiences and phrasing are very localised, think. Do you think every Christian goes to "church"?

I think it would be weird if they believed that and they didn’t but I guess there’s all kinds of different brands these days. I have lived a lot of places from Japan to San Diego, to Mississippi. The current small town I’m in is where it’s so pronounced that this occurred to me, but it’s theoretically at least partially true everywhere.

No greater joy than shopping in a heavily religious neighborhood on a Sunday.

Be careful you don't accidentally drown while showing this high.

No, but Leviathan missed the "er" in showering. It makes more sense once you slide that back in.

As in adult swim time at a pool, as opposed to Adult Swim from Cartoon Network?

To be fair, the idea behind both is the same.

Because I’m asleep?
