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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

How does one spark curiosity?
Ask questions. Either people will or won’t engage but if you have any credibility with them, they have a little bit of buy in to listen to your shit. Then you just might get them curious.
Just the other day I was walking through our local VA campus and I was curious about why every roof of the buildings built in the 1920s has a bunch of little house looking vent things on the top. I think I know the answer but I’m still curious about it.
Probably not a good example of something to spark curiosity with, but you never know what will.
