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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"Hints" is another name for "charades"

Maybe holding your phone would be a hint you want somebody’s number? That’s all I can think.

Now you never know, maybe they are busy, making up an excuse, waiting for important message, or just hold their phone in front of their faces and zone out.
