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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Like Robin Williams!
Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.
He was pretty open about struggling with depression for most of his life.
Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.
Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.
I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.
Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.
It’s the internet, you’re not supposed to agree.
You’re supposed to call me a dumbass and explain in detail why.
You're a dumbass and I'm certain you're just like your namesake, I have so much more to say were it not for the fact that I'm extremely busy with important stuff!
