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.

Dog treats can be any flavor (lemmy.world)

What are dogs gonna do, complain in human language that they don't taste like pumpkin or cookies and cream?

There's no scenario where a reasonable and normal human being can ever prove or disprove the advertised flavor of dog treats. And if you do? Congratulations you fucking weirdo, yeah maybe they lied but YOU put a dog treat in your mouth. You lose by default, bro

All it needs is themed packaging, a vague colorful tint, and boom it's now whatever flavor you say it is. If anyone objects, "ah, nope. They just taste bad to you because you're not a dog"

It's all such silly goosery

What tastes good to dogs can taste nasty to us for perfectly valid reasons. I don't think anyone's rushing to try an apple-beef-cucumber-peanut butter (or whatever the fuck they mix into a) biscuit that explicitly isn't made for humans

I dunno. I'm pretty sure there is a reason they prefer to eat the food I make for myself (or even when I home cook their meal) instead of the pre-made dog food I bought for them.

Just because dogs want to eat human food doesn't mean that they should. My dog will rush or beg for any human food, even foods that are bad for her and have too much oil or sodium
