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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Like this one in Brazil?
Have a big reservoir at the bottom that collects all the water runoff and uses it for the city water supply.
Bone water. Yummy.
