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.

But you know when you finally have to wash your pants because the spaghetti sauce is getting noticable from afar and you go to pull all the stuff out and it takes up your whole desk then you put on some other pants and only put half the stuff back in because you didn't need half that crap anyways? What we all need is detachable pockets. Make a bag, slap some Velcro on the back, maybe a shoulder strap, a zipper, a pattern with some letters signaling the pedigree of the item. It would be revolutionary! You could make big ones with straps for your back, small ones for your waist with a classic pastel swoosh, idk. For real though those modular cargo pants that turn into shorts, I would most definitely buy three pairs of those with zip off pockets just so I don't have to do the stuff shuffle all the time. Plus you could actually make specialized pockets. Insulated food pocket, anti static electronics pocket, mesh pocket for ... Idk the beach or something? Vacuum sealed pocket, hamster pocket, tater tots pocket... The possibilities are endlesS :P
They're called belt pouches and were the shit in medieval times. They came in all shapes and sizes, some very specific designs, some more general, for all kinds of ourposes. There were even belt-books and coin purses. I mean, the T-shirt brought back the tunic, so why not let's all switch back to long but airy robes and a belt with two pouches?
I've been doing belt pouches for years and am a big fan
