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.

Surely "white guy blinking.gif" is easier done than said for most of us.

There’s gotta be a word that’s really hard to pronounce but means something incredibly easy to do.

Yesterday, my sunglasses fell off my face.

I reflexively shut my eyes while lunging my arms forward, accidentally shoving my wife and flinging my glasses several feet to my left.

That was easier done than said.

Saying this sentence is exactly as easy as saying this sentence.

Counter-thought: Some few things I actually find really really hard to express but easy to think of in my own mind

Not if you have a speech impediment.

Or if you need to talk to someone.

Sitting and holding your right hand in front of you at a comfortable angle while bending your index finger on that hand while letting the rest of your fingers rest at whatever angle is comfortable.
