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.

Funky Town sounds tempting but it will be ruined as alarm.
Who doesn't want to think about inhumanly brutal torture when they wake up in the morning
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
What does it say if you have your favorite job while listening to your favorite song and still love both?
Well personally, I think listening to Roxeanne whilst being plowed for a living is an irony in itself
Someone doesn't have ADHD 😂
IMHO it’s even worse with ADHD, just less immediate. There are songs and artists that were major favorites of mine at one point, that I just haven’t listened to in years cause I’m so fucking tired of them after listening to them 8h a day for 3 months straight. There also not a single job I didn’t get tired of after a year or two lol
Not a great example, unless you have a very repetitive job. You have described work in general but music as one song only. I can listen to music I like over and over again all day, and I can also (mostly) enjoy my job all the time.
I don't know, man, do you really wanna taste it??
Speak for yourself, the super Mario Brothers theme slaps for eternity.
SMB3 Bowser theme legit goes hard.
My spotify stats every year disagree
I feel like I have to introduce a counter-example, this song has been absolutely stuck in my head in the last few weeks. I've listened to it literally hundreds of times in that timeframe and it's still an absolute banger.
That's why I don't know who, those YT videos "Song XY 10-hours loop", are for. That would make me crazy.
Not sure if anyone listens to them fully, regularly, but I find they're great if you want to use the song as a background track for anything, without having it start and stop again repeatedly.
