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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
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.
