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.

A maizing mazing question.
As someone who lives solidly in corn maze country, this is a well used joke whenever the topic of corn mazes comes up. Which means I hear it about twice a week throughout the fall.
Rookie numbers.
One of the biggest, most famous corn maze attractions is called The Amazing Maize Maze
Been around since before SSL
They should just call it a maize.
Because they were made from sheafs of wheat in the past.
"Corn" was the name for any grain in Britain.
Actually I went to one yearly in my childhood called the Maize Maze. Not in the US though.
Because maize maze sounds like the start of a tongue-twister and Americans are lazy with talking.
"is it just a maize maze? or, is it, like, a real maize maze maze?
The ways of this amazing maize maze will make you praise for days til you're in a glaze haze
Says you.
I says
A maize labyrinth would be better
Only if there's one path, no dead ends. A maze branches, a labyrinth doesn't and only winds around as one long path.
What an amaizing shower thought
I think you mean a maize labyrinth
Because finding your way out is a real cornundrum

You made me realize a Maize Maze has a real part and an imaginary part.
Because that would be confusing
They do, infact, call them a maize maze. This one is near my house and they change it up every year. It's really good fun.
It's called a maizmorra
My wife said because the answer is just, No.
For that matter, why is it called "getting corn-holed" instead of "getting maize-holed"
