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:
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.
Wtf are you talking about? There's only one birthday song.
The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.
Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”
Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”
Except it is not copyrighted anynore

I have no idea what you're talking about.
There's only one brithday song and it goes like this: Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard, ok, can we just, uh, stop? Ok, cool.
There's also "This is your birthday song. It isn't very long. Hey!"
There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.
“haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”
I know two. One in my native tongue, and one in english.
I know 4. Two in my native tongue, one in Danish, and one in English.
There’s also the “It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!” chant that people do. Not The Birthday Song, but a birthday song.
Edit: after researching it, I guess it’s 50 Cent, I’d always heard it, but never knew the source:

I know three in English so there must be more in other languages
Are you sure?
Yes.
