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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Pretty sure it was named after the French village Mini-Opuasé where it was discovered in the 1800's.
It's a portmanteau of "Minnow Palls," because doctors used to believe it was caused by a cloud of small fish surrounding those experiencing it.
This is fake news, he stole the research from Jane Menopause who goes uncredited to this day
