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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Where is the cabin cheese? The fourth-floor-walkup cheese? Give me the fancy mansion cheese. Or skyscraper cheese, ooh la la.

Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though

There's another: Höhlenkäse (= Cave Cheese)

Isn't that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html

If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don't have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.
