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

Fun fact about how the brain deals with a lack of sound. It uses the part of the brain that normally handles sound for something else.
My wife has a cochlear implant fitted in her adult hood. Certain sounds triggered responses or feelings in different parts of her body.
For example, rubbing my hands together to make a swishing sound was very uncomfortable for a time and made her feet tickle.
