Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower.

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.

BaskinginmyownfilthThoughts doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Oh but it would be so much more accurate. Someone please create that community.

anecdote: during the pandemic every day seemed the same. i sometimes forgot ro shower for a few days. so i put a water sensor in my shower. when i shower, it starts a macrodroid automation that records the date. another macro plans and reminds me when it's shower time.
Don't you like... Feel the need to wash on your skin? No microcontrollers required?
Yes, I, too, feel very real emotions like a desire to run water over my human skin. I definitely do not require microcontrollers to instruct me on when it is time to do so! Just like all completely normal humans. Of which I am one.
Not always, I'll often forget to shower until I look in the mirror and realize my hair needs to be washed. Peak pandemic I'd sometimes go a few weeks without showering until I could smell myself. Just not something that's on my mind most of the time.
OP doesn't lie
Oh well, fair enough. Glad you found a solution that works for you.
We have a great macrocontroller, a brain.
Maybe not as reliable but definitely easier to program.
Except those times where it just stops writing to log files. Sometimes I'll be in the shower zoned out and find myself on the last step of my routine without remembering completing any of the steps.
Lieutenant Commander Data, is that you?
Nah, they didn't say anything about implementing voice activation by the command "engage".

you guys have thoughts?
An excruciating number, yes
Give them time, thoughts take longer than hope to wither and die

I don't know how I'm going to recover from this burn...
Take a shower
I don't know this one. It might be too advanced for my Duolingo....how about
Por favor, haces una lavarse pronto!
Mustache, or huge gaping mouth?
Lukewarm water helps prevent the skin from peeling or shrinking at the burn site
My shower thoughts are always repeating cycles of "fuuuuuuuck this feels niiiiiiiiice" and "time to turn up the heat a smidge." Am I doing it wrong?
Yes. Not enough daydreaming about winning arguments, mixed with intrusive thoughts and general self-loathing.
my shower thoughts are always "God damnit get this shit over with, I want to get out of this fucking water coffin already.... I wonder what would happen if you cooked rice in milk? GOD DAMNIT WHY CANT WE HAVE STAR TREK SONIC SHOWERS YET"
If these are blue and spiky I might prefer regular ones
Uggggh I'm jealous. The city is working on the civic plumbing for months and basically the work their doing means my on-demand hot water heater barely goes up to "tepid."
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the infrastructure work.
Maybe I'll go shower at the gym or a friend's lol

Excuse me, I shower once a fortnight whether I need it or not!
Bro u shower too much
Once a day is definitely not too much.
Excuse me, but do you know how many people I have to kill to take a shower around here?
Sir, this is a Wendy's. You're not allowed to shower around here. You have to go home to do that.
I'm only subbed because I'm too disabled to shower myself.
I don't ever have philosophical thoughts in the shower. I just think ordinary things that people usually think of outside the shower. And I shower once a week, so... yeah idk what a "shower thought" is. But I just come here for the philosophy goodness.
Similarly, people interested in philosophy (and other theoretical stuff) might take a break and think of different things like "but how's the soap made, anyway?".

Or don't think
Lemmy showerthoughts is the mind dump community I always wanted
Then where are they even having thoughts? I don't think the location is what's different. I think they're just on different drugs.
