Society has put so much emphasis on being "connected" and "engaged" that we've forgotten how to be bored. The shower provides a rare opportunity for you to be alone with your thoughts.
Jokes on you, I lemmy in the shower, ain't gonna let that brain have any free time.

Don't forget being 100% productive between 9am and 5pm every day.
I’ve been alone with my thoughts. Ultimately it leads to depression but sometimes I get some good masturbating along the way.
I like to shower in as dark a possible a bathroom. I find it enhances the creativity effect by a huge amount. Also the slight risk of an accidental, life altering fall from not being able to see keeps it spicy!
TLDR
Focus shift: Stepping away from immediate goals encourages "positive daydreaming," a constructive form of mind wandering that fosters unexpected connections and sparks inspiration.
Reduced pressure: The relaxed atmosphere of the shower lowers inhibitions and anxieties, allowing us to think freely and explore creative avenues without judgment.
Sensory stimulation: The sound and feel of water can act as a trigger, stimulating the brain and promoting new thought patterns

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.
