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.

They say sex symbolizes domination and power, what's more powerful than fucking the biggest strongest man in the room?

I wish I could find the old standup about how straight guys want really soft pretty women making them more feminine in the end and about how doing a rough hairy dude in the butt is way more manly.

Wasn't there some Twatter thread not that long ago about how unprotected sex with a woman would feminize you due to absorbing estrogen, and was therefore gay?

In retrospect, it may have been satire. But who the hell can tell the difference with those weirdos anymore!

I have been saying since high school that the manliest thing a man can be is a gay bottom.

How can you say you're a man if you can't love all of a man?

I always kind of figured the manliest man would be able to rip his own balls off.

on a podium

in front of everyone.

A trans woman openly embracing their feminity is, ironically, manly as hell...just that it's also, you know, not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I looked away. Can you do it again?
