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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

my microwave has a wheel
And if my grandma had wheels she’d have been a bicycle
Everyone would get a ride
My grandma had wheels. She had both a car, AND a walker.
They all do, you put the food on it and it spins while its cooking.
Mine has special patterns on the walls to distribute the waves so there's no need for a turntable. It's nice because there's extra space inside, plus no mechanism so it's super easy to clean.
For like a full year after getting it, my brain would perceive a phantom rotation of whatever was in there, just because it had never seen a microwave without it.
I used to have one like that as well, most baffling design decision I've ever seen
Edit: Clarification:
what?????? I have NEvER and I mean NEVER!!! seen a microwave with buttons EVER!!! in real life.
I'm not down with all this fancy technology.
My microwave has a dial and some cogs and that's about as far as I'm prepared to go. An added bonus is that I don't get blinded whenever walking into the kitchen in the middle of the night
