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.

You mentioned TGI Fridays.
When I was in college, we'd go to Fridays all the time, and the food was incredible.
Then, over the years, it turned to shit. We stopped going.
One day, we were craving the memory of what it was and decided to give it anorher chance.
When we sat down, the manager stopped by our table to thank us for coming in and informed us that they had changed their process. She said that in recent years all their food was being prepared off-site, frozen, and just microwaved to order at the restaurant. However, they recently went back to doing all the prep from scratch in their kitchen.
The food was incredible! Exactly what we remembered. We started going back.
Then COVID hit. The Fridays that we would go to shut down.
The last time we went to a Fridays, the restaurant was empty, the staff was disinterested, and the food was shit.
How was the Mudslide?
Never got it. I never did much drinking there.
Back in the olden days, my order was:
Potato skins
Salad
Filet mignon
Deep Dish Apple Pie
It broke my damn heart when they stopped offering that dessert.
