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 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.

Next you'll be telling me a hot dog isn't a type of taco.
Strawman argument! It isn't.
But some sandwiches are burgers like that bacon chicken burger you posted.
Pop tarts are calzones
So are many pies.
Some pies are toast.
Dumplings are pop tarts?
Dumplings are calzones as are pop tarts.
Then funyuns and burger rings are sushi, but sashimi is sometimes toast
You’re thinking of nigiri, sashimi has no starch.
This really is a Picasso perspective on things. Now I know he was just craving calzones this whole time.
Picasso’s ear could be considered sashimi.
Today I'll be showing you how to make an authentic, delicious calzone using only six pieces of toast...
The top layer of pastry in a pop tart is perforated through to the filling, so I would argue that it doesn't count as a bread, which would make the pop tart a toast.
M&Ms are calzones...
Some sandwiches are burgers but it needs steak to be a burger
I’ve never heard of a steak burger.
Anecdotal fallacy
Go to a pub, it’s called a steak sandwich on the menu.
"my local pub said so" fallacy
My mother said I’m right.
Your mother said a lot of things. I didn't know how religious she was.
