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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm as open-minded as the next guy, but my back itches.

I'm not racist but buying a bidet toilet seat was one of the better choices I've made.

I'm not racist but the world would be a better place with less Elon Musk media.

My Mrs always says, "I'm not being funny, but" the proceeds to be funny

We don't do it on Christmas, but we do it on Thanksgiving. Also we're not Jewish. It's pretty nice.

There's a local restaurant with a cheap tri-tip platter that's damn good, so we do that if I'm not feeling up to a few hours by the smoker at Christmas.
