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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I almost thought "kids aren't that dumb", then I remembered that I jumped out of a tree with an umbrella once because I saw it in a cartoon

My brother tried that, but it was the roof and a sofa sized plastic bag.

Has it also led chidren to believe that if you cut down a tree with an axe it will just hang in the sky instead of falling down?

Or that wolf and sheep come from eggs?
