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.

BaskinginmyownfilthThoughts doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Oh but it would be so much more accurate. Someone please create that community.

anecdote: during the pandemic every day seemed the same. i sometimes forgot ro shower for a few days. so i put a water sensor in my shower. when i shower, it starts a macrodroid automation that records the date. another macro plans and reminds me when it's shower time.

Nah, they didn't say anything about implementing voice activation by the command "engage".

My shower thoughts are always repeating cycles of "fuuuuuuuck this feels niiiiiiiiice" and "time to turn up the heat a smidge." Am I doing it wrong?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Yes. Not enough daydreaming about winning arguments, mixed with intrusive thoughts and general self-loathing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

my shower thoughts are always "God damnit get this shit over with, I want to get out of this fucking water coffin already.... I wonder what would happen if you cooked rice in milk? GOD DAMNIT WHY CANT WE HAVE STAR TREK SONIC SHOWERS YET"

Excuse me, I shower once a fortnight whether I need it or not!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Once a day is definitely not too much.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Excuse me, but do you know how many people I have to kill to take a shower around here?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Sir, this is a Wendy's. You're not allowed to shower around here. You have to go home to do that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I'm only subbed because I'm too disabled to shower myself.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't ever have philosophical thoughts in the shower. I just think ordinary things that people usually think of outside the shower. And I shower once a week, so... yeah idk what a "shower thought" is. But I just come here for the philosophy goodness.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Similarly, people interested in philosophy (and other theoretical stuff) might take a break and think of different things like "but how's the soap made, anyway?".

OP, If the world doesn't fit your expectations, it best to change them because you're not going to change the world.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Are you telling OP to break into peoples houses and force shower them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That'd be the opposite of what I said.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Waking up ricky is dumb...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah. But they have great ideas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Instructions unclear, I'm being added to a list now

Everyone in this comment section needs to stop what they're doing and switch to Arch. I use Arch btw. Did you know that you don't have to regularly take a shower to be allowed to use Arch?
