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.

Where is this from? 🙏🏼😭
Futurama!
Nice, that's on my bucket list.
Make sure to watch it before your boneitis kicks in.
I definitely recommend!
I don't think you're using that phrase correctly.
How do you use it?
A bucket list is usually "a list of things to do before you die" i.e. kick the bucket.
I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn't feel right, which is 90% of language.
To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply "on the list" just sounds better.
Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog.
But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that's also how language works.
Nah, you're right. I used it wrong.
Bucket lists are usually for life goals, so it's a bit dramatic to say it for a T.V. show.
I was trying to be brief and was also typing in a hurry.
