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
- 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.

Donuts are already vegetable donuts. It's cereal. Mostly wheat. And rapeseed or whatever you call it, uh canada oil with low acid.
Donuts are mostly vegan. Should be at least.
Although this makes me think of what donuts would taste like fried in beef tallow? Hmm...
Grains have never been vegetables.
Seems to me that grains are plants and edible.
Grains are meat!
If grains are meat, and meat is murder, and a murder is a flock of crows, then then 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie is just a recipe and NOT a nursery rhyme.
Checkmate Mother Goose.
how many blackbirds???
