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.

They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren't going to enjoy.

Yeah, they are awful. My mate bought all the ingredients and a fancy martini glass, had half of one, and gave up.

Never try boxed wine.

When I was 21, my job had someone lose an entire massive jug of wine in a box. It sat in lost and found for a month before I just took it.

Second worst thing that has ever been in my mouth. I invited people over to try it. If they liked it, they could have it. I figured "I'm not a wine guy, but it's free booze."

I couldn't take more than a sip. Nobody could.

We had to throw the damn thing away.

I can't stand wine (it's all vinegar to me, regardless of the price tag), but I know some connoisseurs who say there are plenty of good boxed wines. I don't think the container signifies the quality. My wife says one of the best wines she ever had was a 6 euro bottle of french table wine, better than a 150 euro bottle I got for her birthday.

It's funny because I've seen people say before that wine is completely subjective. The price has no bearing on flavor. If you like it you like it.

If not for boxed wine, how am I supposed to be the host for “Slap the Bag” at music festivals?!
