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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
Avoid politics
1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
Posts must be original/unique

Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower. (lemmy.tespia.org)

Maybe because the oldentimes r/showerthoughts was explicitly NOT for thoughts that came to you in the shower. They were kinda strickt about it and stoned your snoo to death if you dared.

Every super big subreddit devolved into places where only the mods and their friends were allowed to post. Everyone else's would be deleted and then pointed toward extremely vague rules that literally could have multiple interpretations depending on the context. Like you'd post to Pics and it would be deleted for being an odd numbered size in kilobytes or a non standard resolution.
