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.

The older I get the less I want to overeat. After big meals now if I don't take a walk I feel like absolute garbage.
You know I had the same problem Two potential solutions: first, change what you gorge on. I eat a big bowl of popcorn most days (against MDs orders I fucking love popcorn) and all it is is empty fiber and butter. We stuff ourselves on Thai (love me some pad gra pao) instead of Chinese (they had the best sauce. Think sweet and sour, not dyed red, with extra garlic, onion greens, and some of that Chinese chile de árbol equivalent its fantastic. Fuck I need to make some and... Ooo I might be able to convince my mother to make beer battered beef bites I can dunk in the sauce I'll let you know if I succeed because I have been refining this recipe for 20 years and the restaurant I'm copying from just closed. I guess I'm gorging on Chinese again)
Second solution is weed. Or zofran, but weed is more fun. Antiemetics.
Third solution, more of a potential solution to a potential problem, if overeating causes Satan's Eyeball, they make great ointments to block and heal taco butt. If it doesn't touch skin, it can't hurt you (except emotionally).
You should listen to your doctor and your body when they are telling you "no". Not trying to be preachy or shame you, but please consider your health and well-being.
i have seen so many incompetent MDs in the last few decades, MDs orders count for jack shit. I really enjoyed the ones who tried to diagnose me with conditions in body parts i do not have.
