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.

Alternatively, do read it if you’re having trouble cutting back on fast food spending!

Watched an employee of the local chicken shop tip a dead rat into the alley gutter recently. Not only didn't they bag and bin it, just tipped it into the gutter out the back of the shop. It's put me off the place, what other dodgy things aren't I seeing?

My aunt claims to have heard tales of McDonald's workers pisssing in the pickle jar

I've worked at Maccas. I've seen someone sneeze on a tray of half made cheese burgers they were holding, put the bun on and proceed to wrap them for service.

Wow. I bet it was pretty obvious the food tamperer was a fucked up moron at their interview. I would like to see the hiring manager prosecuted.
