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 feel like cannibalism has to be an intentional act.

Like, I happen to smell other peoples farts, but I’m not a fart sniffer.

Soooo, that means there's no good reason to not lick strangers? Sweet :)

More likely salty.

Humans are filthy, disgusting, germ ridden animals.

Like all others.

No, we just microdose on each other

Not sure what you're doing to other people, but I don't think I've ingested macroscopic quantities of anyone else's skin cells since I was a young child who was a little too fond of biting. If you count individual cells it's probably technically true that I inhale some occasionally, but that's a bit misleading. I'm still constantly practicing self-cannibalism though!
