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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Has nobody ever talked dirty to you? Words can be very powerful, even recorded ones.
I have aphantasia. I'm not blind and could watch porn but I'd much rather just talk it out in my mind lol. I'm imagining my experience is probably similar to that of blind people.
Hey, that's rad. I also have aphantasia, and found out about it from a post on Lemmy, of all places. Legitimately thought I was being pranked until I started asking some real life friends about their mental images. It was like being told that actually, the TV I think I'm watching is just a radio broadcast, and everyone else's is much cooler.
Out of curiosity, what are dreams like for you? Is that also just a stream of sounds without images?
As far as I can tell, I have visual dreams. At least what I remember of them. I've also noticed having internal visual imagery on certain drugs. Mainly hallucinogens, but also on phenobarbital which is used for alcohol withdrawal.
Yes. Some folks find audio just as or even more erotic than video. There's a fairly large and active subreddit for this, (gonewildaudio). Probably more than one.
