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.

Those idiots pee all at once and then water it down. Look at it! They're completely insane! You could piss on so many lawns with that!

If they don’t already think we’re nuts for wearing clothes.

Why are they putting on fake fur?

To trap our smells for their enjoyment

There are soo many things that dogs would find very confusing, if they had the capacity to analyze that way. What if they knew that all of our interpersonal interactions were governed mostly by ego, shame, and pride?

I don’t believe all our interactions are governed but ego, shame, and pride.

I certainly just exist with my friends all the time and we talk without filter and just exist together.

Gotta make room for new smells

My beagle hates it when I do laundry or if my goldendoodle gets perfume at the groomer. Everything MUST be stinky according to the beagle. He does his best to make everything have his hound smell by rubbing all over everything and everyone. I'd be mad if he wasn't so damn cute when he does it. He makes dumb little noises and gives me side eye as he wiggles around like a doofus

Well dog, at least I have nuts, ya eunuch.

AYY you didn't have to do him like that though!

Never would have come up with this on my own. I think you're probably right.

I feel like dogs tend to to give us the benefit of the doubt about everything, never jump to thinking we're crazy.

Or collecting their poo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You think I wash.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Me as a kid thought that.

SO and I feel the same way about each other's body and clothes odour after not too many days.
2-3 days is the sweet spot, 1 and 4 are OK, more then 5 days is yucky again.
