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.

I think a big part of it began for survival. Since take this for example those living in colder environments after we lost our dense hair across our bodies. They had to wear things made from pelts. To sustain life in colder regions. Same goes for warm environments. The important areas of the body. It’s better to wear light clothing than get sunburn. Mainly if you don’t wish to go through the adaption to not need clothes. That’s gonna take 1000s of years of blisters, sunburns and more.
Beyond that. Let’s say you didn’t wear a shirt. Most times. People wear pants/shorts or something on their lower half for modesty and not to have their dick swinging. I mean have you ever thought how much of a nuisance it’d be. If you were running the jungles or forest with nothing holding that in. You’d slap that shit on trees, bush and sticks. That’s not fun. Alongside the bugs and more.
Now people here have mentioned hypothermia and myself. I can wear limited clothing in -1F. Barefoot shoes, Shorts and Tshirt enough to maintain a good balance.
