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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why do you think about US politics in the shower?
Same reason we think about mistakes we made in high school while we're trying to go to sleep?
Some people get off to politics.
It haunts us like the spectre of death.
Wow yeah, I guess I never sat around thinking "How can I make myself more depressed"
what do you think about in the shower?
Not about politicians in my country, that is for sure. They're the last people I want to think about naked and soapy.
that's why i think about politics more broadly, not politicians.
Damn it now you got me thinking about naked and soapy politicians, now where's the mental eye bleach.
Enjoy the privilege! 😂
Maybe they just stare blankly at the floor, or read the ingredients on the shampoo bottle again for the 14 thousandth time.
true, that is an option. Staring at the floor is a solid way to spend a shower ngl
Why don't you? This community probably confuses you greatly
