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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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.

Or, and hear me out here, we attach a wood chipper right below where the basket would've been
Naw, let's use another French-named device, the trebuchet. I can see it now... CHOP, LAUNCH! CHOP, LAUNCH! CHOP, LAUNCH! So satisfying.
I think a trebuchet would take too long to load tbh
We can keep them all in stockades while they wait their turn, then we can have some time to mock and jeer, or jeer and mock, if that's your thing.
This is the way.
two trebuchets!
Yeah i was thinking we might be able to use them as manure to replant everything they destroyed but i can't think of anything that would grow in such low quality, toxic manure and it's not like there's that much brain matter to use for anything else.
