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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

You do not put what you are smoking through a bong in the water. It is outside in a bowl. The smoke is pulled through the water and out into your lungs. It is more like a water based cigarette filter.

Not sure why, but my memory of gravity bongs popped into my head and I was amazed to find a WikiHow. Although I remember people using a large bucket/tub and a whole 2-litter.

Almost as wild as the 5-6 footers people stood on chairs to hit at parties, and took multiple people to clear.

Edit yay insomnia

Do you always burn all of the weed before it gets sucked through the cone piece? I sure don't. There's green (well, probably brown now) unburned bits in the bottom chamber of mine for sure.
