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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Your shower thought on the other hand is on point!
Nicely done.

Also an excuse to post my favourite Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic.
😆 that's a good one! I haven't seen it before, and I thought I'd gone through all of them (to date)! Cheers!
I have never seen that! I wish I could upvote you twice, you wonderful person.
It really isn't, because this is what I see:
If you use Jerboa, don't be fooled, the image I uploaded isn't actually broken. This is just what broken images look like.
