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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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.

I like how the comments just assume you're scrolling SM or texting people in the shower but I think it would be rad to not be worried about getting my phone wet so I could use it to listen to music in there. The only other option is to turn voice commands on and start shouting at it over the sound of the shower.
Or even, like, using the thing outside in the rain.
You can get waterproof Bluetooth speakers that are designed to go in the shower for less than £10 in the UK. The sound quality isn't amazing, but they're not much different from a phone speaker, especially with the sound of the water 👍
I have a JBL Clip 3 I use in the bathroom when I shower. Sound quality's pretty good but I just listen to podcasts with it rather than music.
I listen to music in the shower, I'm not sure why this would involve taking the phone into the water?
So I don't have to have the music so loud
Even just reaching out to touch it while I am wet will make the phone wet. It doesn't even have to come in with me.
Okay, it's never occurred to me to do that, fair enough.
I just set a playlist going
Seriously, everyone jumping to the worst possible interpretation, like they've never wanted to listen to music or had an audio book they didn't want to put down.
Struggling to see how it's different from watching tv while you iron or listen to music while cooking
