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 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.

Been thinking of this out of the bath. Enjoy this thought the next time you are in a bath or hot tub.

No. You don't make a soup or broth out of the water you used to clean an animal before you eat it.

You don't?? Is that why my soup always tastes like the smell of being in a barn??? Why did no one tell me this????

Me flavored water, 15 cents! Come taste my knees!

More like “come taste my butthole”… no thanks 🤣

I'd assume the taste of soap is usually a lot stronger.

You use soap in the bath? I just scrub with a carrot or a head of broccoli.

I mean you can add all the salts and microplastic glitter bouillon cubes you want to mask it but it's still a rumschlumpel broth.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Googled it and couldn't find an answer. WTF is a rumschlumpel?

[–] clickyello@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I had the same thought and then landed on... I really fucking hope it is at least

If homeopathy is correct, that water has the memory of all the shit that's ever been in it.

I am laying down in wet empty bath and shower head kinda constantly sprinkles (fountains?) water around it while I scroll Lemmy. What irresponsible dish does it make me?
