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

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
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
Posts must be original/unique
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.

Oh wow, if I point the max pressure shower head directly at my mouth and pretend talk, it makes sounds! (discuss.tchncs.de)

Can sing or just use as a musical instrument. Violently shake for a tiny bit of vibrato.

I am not German, although I would consider that as compliment. I was just looking for an instance that

Works on both IPv4-only and more importantly IPv6-only networks (my ISP breaks stuff constantly)
Doesn't block Tor so the Tor comrades can load my attachments
Has a proper privacy policy (Germans are most afraid of the GDPR)

It just so happened that this one in Germany meets all 3 requirements. It not being in the US is a bonus. I was on lemmy.today previously.

Just to clarify, English isn't my native language either, but I am so online that I speak it better than my native and have to machine translate some terms back.

Ohhhh... hey, OP! 😅
I hope I didn't offend you with my comment. (oof, I guess I didn't, hopefully?)

It's just that I couldn't understand very well the logistics you described in terms of how to aim the shower nozzle towards one's mouth. As in-- from the front or from the side? Or in some other way...

Your English is certainly good IMO, but at a certain point, it's also common for a learned language to not be "up to scratch" in terms of certain precise communications. Again, I intend no insult or critique whatsoever.

For example, I can understand castellano & français, but I'm a complete mess trying to write or orate that way. If one of those is your native language, I'd be interested in hearing you describe the shower-head technique in your own language.
