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

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

Nah I'm talking about flavors that dog treats don't normally have, like "pumpkin spice" or "eggnog"

Kinda shit you'd expect on something that humans eat. Makes you kinda wonder how dog owners know that their dogs even like those flavors, or that they even taste it in the same way that we do. And I'm not saying that they don't either, but like why go out of your way to get it? Why assume, you know?? It's just crazy

Oh, I see! I've never seen pet food marketed in that way before. I guess the strategy is to play on how humans tend to apply humanistic traits to animals, but It's very strange and weird nonetheless.

Redbarn makes French toast flavored bully slices my dogs both love. My shepherd prefers the vanilla. Those may be more in line with what you're thinking?

That is marketing targeted at particularly stupid humans. Now tell them it is reversible and go enjoy the occasional bit of dried lung themselves.
