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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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 definitely agree, but wouldn't say that is a shower thought

I seriously couldn’t live without treats. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 bags filled with random treats. But no treats? How do you even survive?

One of my doggos has a sensitive tummy and she gets a little plugged up when she has treats. We tried all sorts and just nothing quite sits right with her. I don’t want to give my other dogs treats and leave her out - so no treats for them. Instead they all get ice cubes, which they go bananas for. It’s cheaper and keeps them happy without adding to their calorie intake.

I can eat a treat at work and nobody criticizes me.

We live with a shiba, who is smart and occasionally stubborn. All (well most) treats in our house are earned. Sometimes sitting quietly next to the cutting board while I’m making lunch is enough to earn a treat. Evening bedtime treats are almost automatic, but I like to reinforce some of his commands with them. As a result, he is better behaved and he still gets to enjoy the treats.

I'll tell my dogs you feel sorry for them. They don't have any treats. I have to make more but I forgot I was out of flour before the store closed. So they must wait.
