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.

I think you need to look up what the word "directly" means.
Directly through the hole.
Hole to hole.
It's the same hole.
If you go full topology, it's actually a single hole.

Your mouth is directly connected to your anus the same way New York is directly connected to Miami.
My mouth is not connected to my anus by I-95
As a resident of both New York City and Orlando, and a frequent traveler of i-95, just… No
In name only… and, uh, not even that.

The mouth is the anti anus
Unless you're a politician.
Fun fact: ~~Mammals(iirc)~~ creatures pretty much start growing at either end; some start at the mouth, others at the ass.
So every human ever started life as nothing more than an asshole, and some never grew out of it.___
All mammals are deuterostomes, they all have the trait of the anus developing before the mouth.
All vertibrates in fact, among others.
The other side of things are the protostomes. They all develop a mouth before the anus at some point in development.
These include insects, bugs, snails, etc.
Thanks! I wasn't sure and was gonna put "creatures" originally.
Today, on How It's Made: Anuses
Have you ever wondered where anuses come from? It all starts with a hole.
Great - now I can’t think of the womb as anything other than a 3D printer…
Wait until you find out how many other sphincters are in your body.
So we're all just a bunch of assholes?
How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow? I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes.
So I get this is just a funny thought, but my inner pedant is itching to say this....Sphincter is not your anus, it is a type of muscle. We have several. So, like, no, because the mouth doesn't behave the way sphincters do. ok thanks for that, carry on with the assmouth jokes lol
Now here is a fun and disturbing thought: The skin of your lips is the same type of skin as on your sphincter. Have a good night.
Dudes I'm eating
With your face anus?
It’s debatable which end of him spews more shit.
Hey, OP. Stop talking so much shit!
Fanus
you need to watch human cenepede.
When all is said and done that is still technically just a face anus connected to a butt mouth, only longer
We're all just tubes tubin' around.
Totally tubular, dude!
Which is why i kiss and eat ass.
…with teeth
Now there's an image
Would it be considered anal when someone does you a blowjob?
it's a sphincter job.
Fam, you would have RULED 8th grade recess.
I still rule 8th grade recess
Thanks doc! Cs get degrees!
C for effort
We are essentially a coiled tube, surrounded by a system maintenance apparatus.
It's a series of tubes.
Hey, an actual shower thought
the sun is a star
I enjoy touching my sphincter to other people's sphincters. Sometimes in the heat of the moment, I also like touching my sphincter to their sphincter.
