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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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 dated a girl once who came round. She asked "are you going to give me the tour?"

I was like "uh, okay sure" so showed her around the living room, kitchen and back yard, before heading upstairs. I showed her the guest rooms and my room, and she sat on the bed and was like "it seems comfy in here".

Right then I did what any guy would do, stopped for a moment, and said "it sure is. Now let's head back downstairs and see what there is to watch".

It was a good couple of years later when I thought back about it and it hit me like a train, "you fucking idiot"

Good to know that straight men do this too, cause this is an absolutely classic lesbian scenario.

I was visiting a friend who I had a crush on some many years ago and late at night she came into the guest room I was sleeping in, slid under my blanket, took my hand and placed it on her naked chest. I though "boob! 😃" and went back to sleep.

It took me years to understand she wanted to tell me something.

I mean you still touched a boob which is nice

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but maybe it could have developed into a several times boob touching relationship, which would have been a multitude nicer.

Hmm, yes. I think we've covered all the facts here XD
