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-----

"God works in mysterious ways" basically means "this doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm gonna ignore it" (lemmings.world)

Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

The last time my in-laws said that to me I asked them what their gods plan was when he gave their daughter leukemia.

"to test us"

"Well I'm glad you're comfortable devoting your lives to someone who gives a 2 year old cancer, that's beyond my capabilities."

Juuuuust enough to sound like it could be a compliment but with a clear backhand because honestly.... Wtf is that logic.
