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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Where is the cabin cheese? The fourth-floor-walkup cheese? Give me the fancy mansion cheese. Or skyscraper cheese, ooh la la.

Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though

My dumbass brain just thought that's not true, there is "Hüttenkäse" in German... Which is cottage cheese. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Most other cheeses are named after regions that had the specific cultures, climate conditions, and artisinal practices necessary to produce that particular cheese. Cottage cheese is just sorta the base cheese that any old peasant can make in their cottage.

All cheese is made by bacteria who live there, so it's pretty much a building to them!

So I hereby define every cheese by relationship to a building.

(I'm fun at parties.)

I know a guy who keeps cheese in a cellar specific for that cheese.

“I like cottage cheese. That is why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Mobile home cheese?"

I'd say that's definitely double-wide cheese.

Sometimes, being able to read feels like a curse.
