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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

I keep some sugar-free mint gum in my carry-on bag to chew during take-off and landing to help with ear pressure. But otherwise I’ve largely turned to Binaca or Listerine spray for breath freshening, which for me is the major purpose of gum.

Was watching a Steve Ramsey video on YouTube today and noticed he was chewing gum through parts of it. Made me think of this post again. You definitely don't see a lot of YouTubers chewing gum!

People still chewing gum, but chewing gum is no longer a fashion trend. So they don't purposely show to you that they are chewing gum.

I do chewing gum when at work, to help me stay focused. I don't chewing gum while hanging out with friends to look cool, because it no longer a trend. Beside, it is not comfortable to speak while chewing gum.
