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

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 wonder what my wife thinks when the shampoo bottle magically starts dispensing again after I put a little water in it. (lemmy.world)

Comments feel a little harsh. My partner does the same with dishwasher liquid, almost instinctively. I have to keep reminding them that it reduces the efficacy, and eventually will be to a point where you might as well just be using water. The other reason is that if it's sufficiently diluted, bacteria may start growing.

I think a lot of people grew up with their parents adding water to the bottle to make them last longer, and it just became commonplace. It's likely you can make that bottle last longer by just using less product in the first place.
