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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower. (lemmy.tespia.org)

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

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

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".

Mustache, or huge gaping mouth?

Por favor, haces una lavarse pronto!

Lukewarm water helps prevent the skin from peeling or shrinking at the burn site

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

[–] UnpluggedFridge@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (4 children)

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?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

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

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 5 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"

Bro u shower too much

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Once a day is definitely not too much.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 9 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 7 points 5 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.

[–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago (4 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?".

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I recently looked up how to make soap. Shit's complicated.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

First, you need some fat. And the best fat comes from people.

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?

Lemmy showerthoughts is the mind dump community I always wanted

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Then where are they even having thoughts? I don't think the location is what's different. I think they're just on different drugs.
