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.

It says he's a person with money who likes convenience.
Fast food is cheap. It's part of the reason why we have an obesity epidemic in the US: it's cheaper to feed a family at McDonalds than buy fresh groceries and cook. And, yes, it's far more convenient.
But if they had money, they wouldn't be eating fast food for convenience; they could get Uber Eats every day from a local restaurant. Even a cheap local restaurant. I suppose going whole-hog and eating every meal at fast food joints would prevent you from ever having to shop and keep food in the house, but even so many people at my last job got food delivered for lunch from local restaurants. That's more convenient than running out to grab Burger King.
