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.

Am I the only hydrated person here? My piss barely smells unless ive just had a bunch of black coffee.
When do you (or most people if you try to get out by being pedantic) shower? First thing in the morning. When is your body dumping all its waste products? Overnight. 1+1=2.
Nah I shower once a day at night or during the day on an off day once I've completed my out of the house tasks/chores that make me dirty. Shower right when I get home and hop onto the couch or into bed nice N clean.
Called it with my edit which you may or may not have seen. Don't really care because there's this thing called generic you.
Telling you when I shower after you've asked isn't being pedantic. Anyone who works a bust ass job showers at night because they've gotten filthy during the day. Most office workers probably shower in the morning. I don't think you can blanket say "Most people" when there isn't any evidence backing that. In fact, I shower at work as often as I do at home (power plant engineer). But, I never piss in the work shower because thats disrespectful.

Doesn't make you less wrong.
Decided to stop with the edits because you seem to miss them, so thought of this one too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question Edit: ciao.
