Showerthoughts

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.

This, right here, is the highest quality "Shower Thought" I've ever encountered. You win!

And then forget in 5 minutes cause I was in the shower.

This is why I set the bottle in the bathroom sink after having this thought. Its hard to ignore something so out of place and in the way

Hard, but still doable.

Toss it over the curtain so that it clatters to a weird spot that is hard to miss.

Then remember immediately the next time you get in the shower. Vicious cycle.

I do this with tooth paste.

I’ve started buying two tubes at a time because I can’t be trusted

Shower thoughts in the shower? Hmm...

And how many bottles are still in your closet? Because that's always the first thing you should check after thinking that particular thought.

I have three bottles, still sitting neatly in their half of the 2 pack packaging. It hurts.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

Took me about 5 seconds to get this.

So....not a LONG time, but I'm still ashamed it wasn't instant.

I've seen a lot of shower thoughts, but this thought is the showerest
