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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Not being 14 doesn't make it not true
I've heard it said, lawyers and police create criminals, doctors create sick people, politicians create corruption.
Don't know how true a sentiment that is, but I can see some true aspects to it.
It's only anecdotal, but it seems to me whenever the cops show up it gets worse.
There used to be
True, greed killed it.
Pure ignorance helped a lot.
There's little to no British content on BBC America.
Your not missing much. Last time I looked at it there wasn't much more than reality and chat blocks aka cheap lower common denominator stuff
That's odd, I didn't know that.
No Turner on the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS)
There's no Nick's on Nickelodeon.
Nick Cannon used to have a show on Nickelodeon
If you watch enough shows, they'll eventually be nickelodeons on average.
Travel channel and Food network switch content sometimes
It's the same here in the UK, multiple BBC channels all disappointing
Well that sucks
advertising is the most corrosive poison
Yes, they have people I don't know trying to sell me things I don't want and can't afford just so some bigwig could buy a second yacht.
There is no Mötorhead on Lemmy
Its all simple minded commercial fodder. Geared to hold the attention of the slow witted emotion driven masses long enough to throw ads down their psychological throats
There is no democracy in a democratic country.
The Democratic party is running a candidate without a primary.
I remember when The Learning Channel had learning on it. Now watching it actively depletes your intellect.
Remember flipping through the channels and stopping on TLC, what's that? Oh just some open testicle surgery. Ugh
Reminds of an observation my dad made once about how neighborhoods are named after what had to cleared away to build there. Oakwoods. Rolling hills. Pleasent view. Etc etc
What are these, tv channels ? youtube ? they seem badly named
USA cable crap
