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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Y'all is not Texan. Y'all is Southern and Texas is Southern wannabe.
See also: Florida.
Florida is so redneck that they crossed a threshold into its own category. Florida Man.
too weird to live… too rare to die…
Seriously, I can't believe people try to say its not really the south. Like its literally the furthest south you can go in the US.
It's like Austria. Sure, technically they're German, but they're their own thing
"Austria is German(y)" was pushed by a very specific group for a very specific purpose.
The word you want is Germanic. There is a very important distinction between the national and ethnic or cultural terms here.
Thank you, seriously wasn't trying to make fascist arguments, I promise. Just trying to make a comparison and why certain things can't always be grouped together
Goddamn don't let Austrians hear you just called them German
Hawaii would like a word.
Please, they are like middle earth.
And Puerto Rico would also
are they a state or not though.
They're solid in my book.
yeah but are they the most southern part of the US
Wooooosh
so you just ignore the "Show context" button then?
Their state is solid, versus liquid, gas, or plasma.
But yeah, I get ya. You could be simply skipping my dogshit joke to get to the meat of your question. I don't know their lat and Google is too far.
yeah I mean, the joke gets old after awhile.
k
US VI and Guam would now like a word as well.
Hey now, we have to have a US III, IV, and V, before we get to VI.
Stranger, I hope you can beat a full house.
If you use both hands, it'll take half as long.
Is it the salsa or is it getting hot in here?
As a Texan we are not southern ;)
We are sort of western. But yea too late to the party to be southern imo.
Depends. Texas exists as a state in part because southern US farmers ran out of land to grow cotton in. A good chunk of Texas is just an extension of the south. Then again, a good chunk is an extension of Mexico. Tejanos don't get the credit they are due for the formation of the Republic.
You mean it has a several well developed left wing voting cities between the huge stretches of backwater redneck hellscapes? I'd love to know what makes Texas not southern....
Texas is a Southwest state that identifies as Southern, making all of Texas inherently woke
By that logic Pennsylvania is Southern...
All'a Y'all better stop clowning on Texas y'all.
Who cares? Like really.
