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.

Seeing NSFW post titles just makes me want to respond to them neutrally. (lemmy.world)

I looked over at fedinsfw and all I could think of was the titles' attempts at being provocative or enticing and how it just seems really...lame? I'm ace so this whole subset of the site really does nothing for me.

My shower thought is just about responding to the titles neutrally.

For examples:

"Just stretching, don't mind me";

"oh, sorry; as you were, then. Sorry to interrupt."

"If I sent you this by accident, what would you reply?"

"Hey I don't think I'm the one you meant to send this to"

Asian girl waiting for your orders...

"Can I get two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip..."

Do people really get turned on by such things, or is it more that the people posting them just have to put something in the title?

Lmfao dude do it, I love it when people respond in a way that's novel/interesting/silly. And honestly, as someone who loves puns because I am a big 'ol cornball, coming up with good horny-but-relevant puns is hilarious. There's a few of us that are just in it for the fun, but Lemmy is at that awkward stage where there's not enough engagement to make it feel encouraging for the newbies, but still enough that the big posting services feel it's worth it to respond. Shouting out that you appreciate the non-corpo posts (and not downvoting dudes who post nudes, damnit!) does wonders for growing a nsfw community.
