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 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.

Everyone always talks about that episode, but no one ever talks about the stupid and boring other episode he's in for some reason!

The John Lithgow version is better. Partly because it's better produced, but also because Shatner... Well... He shatners the shock of it all.

Captain Crunch?

Kirk?

Who?

Bill Shatner?

Oh yeah, he made TekWar!

I first saw Morena Baccarin on Firefly, with the detailed costuming and saucy retorts, and it was a strong first-impression.

Ditto. Didn’t work for me in “V”, but in Deadpool, um, yeeessssss!!

Of course there are, and they're very rude.

I remember as a kid growing up in Canada, he was always on TV doing commercials for supermarkets. More recently, he was the spokesman for All Bran, and then he was selling CPAP machines I think? No wait, I think it was some sort of machine that cleans CPAPs.

Yes. I have a buddy who is this person. I'm not kidding.

He is a big Star Trek fan, but he is also literally the only T.J. Hooker fan that I've ever met, and he was a T.J. Hooker fan before he was a Star Trek fan. (It's worth noting we're both in our late 40s.)

Coming across this randomly on a Wednesday evening renews my faith in The Internet. I was starting to think the whole thing was a bad idea. Thank you!

I knew there was one!

Is that the same William Shatner of Rescue 911 fame?

Not to mention esperanto fans.
