Showerthoughts

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.

Rules

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

More people are distracted by their phones on the toilet than in the shower

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. Commenting from the throne.

Who could've possibly known.

Try pooping in the shower…?

I shower while sitting on the toilet, does that count?

Why not both?

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

yeah, my bathroom is very small too

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What a throwback to the golden age of meme culture.

[–] nei7jc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

hahaha I wish I was kidding but some people do.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are actually more cells in our brain than brains in our entire body

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like you're having diarrhoea, my friend.

[–] azuth@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The thinker. Does he look like taking a shower?

I rest my case.

[–] gdbjr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Hard disagree. I’m on my phone while on the toilet. In the shower I have nothing but the voices in my head to listen to.

[–] matricaria@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

It’s called shitposting.

[–] tun@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So where is the c/toiletthoughts?

[–] matricaria@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

c/shitposting

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Be the change you wish you want to see in this world.

[–] nei7jc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What does he want to be a toilet thought?

Does somebody know how to create a community?

[–] gun@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

the no poop post was rumored to be a toilet thought

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I find most interesting thoughts are as I fall asleep.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sometimes while falling asleep, I'd start thinking the weirdest shit, only to realize how weird the my thoughts are.

[–] PhotoshopHandsome@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I make up songs in the shower, I do not sing when I shit

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lier! Everyone has a tuba playing for the base notes. Some even play the bassoon. Legend has it, if you hold off the performance for more than 3 days, you'll find you can play the flute.

[–] SmallAlmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And if I don't have thoughts on either what's my problem?

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you one of those people who don't have an internal dialogue?

[–] SmallAlmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well yea I do talk internally to myself, but not "shower thoughts", I wish I did tho

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you wake up with eureka moments?

[–] SmallAlmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Not often, and they are not quite the level of a showerthought

[–] CaffeinatedNerd@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

Only if I forget my phone in the toilet

[–] LachlanUnchained@lemmyunchained.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

On the toilet, I seem to be better at problem-solving. But in the shower tend to come up with new* and deeper thoughts.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But in the shower tend to come up with you

😨 😨 😨

3 days without pooping is 3 days wasted

[–] mySFWaccount@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which kind of thought was this one?

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] mySFWaccount@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I applaud you for your honesty.

[–] Stan@lemmywinks.com 3 points 1 year ago

Me more for their patience.

[–] fing3r@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Shower beats toilet for thinking, every time! Its the steam! My toilet rarely steams.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Excremeditation.

[–] OceanEyes@lemmyf.uk 0 points 1 year ago

Why? You got one of those $4k butt massaging lazy boy toilets? I wouldn’t say most of us have them on the toilet.
