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-----

I can't say I'm ever particularly aware of my gender when I'm dreaming

I've never been aware of my gender while dreaming unless it wasn't a PG dream

Same. My body just exists in the dream. Well. A blob sometimes? It's just there to make sure I can cook all these eggs for my goblin friends and the cat. Or some other insane task my brain dreamed up.
