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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

People often shit themselves when they die... Do vampires when they get turned from alive to undead?? This is important lore to consider

Nope. The brown of shit is dead blood cells filtered out by the liver. Those are a potent source of Death energy, and so are drawn up into the new vampire's body as part of the conversion process. What's left in the new vampire's colon is a nearly odorless, dusty gray substance — emptied of both Life and Death energy — that is typically farted out during the vampire's first few feedings.

Half to a quarter of feces is composed of bacteria, most of the rest is water.

Most credible answer of the lot.
