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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

'Everything that happens until you're ten is how the world works. Everything that happens until you're twenty-five is exciting new progress. Everything after that is weird and scary.'
Incidentally this was all expressed without one fucking iota of irony by Bill McKibben's book "Enough," which I keep on my shelf specifically because it's infuriating.
