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.

Shorts and boxers are fundamentally different and it’s not just because of the pockets.
The only real difference is the dick hole. 🤷♂️
People don’t run away screaming when I’m wearing shorts.
Well yeah. There's no hole for your scary dick to peek out of. 😌
Your shorts don’t have dick holes?
Only my jean shorts. My gym shorts and lounge shorts have no fly at all. I gotta pee like Butters when I wear those.
No shirt?
Hahahaha
They're called pajama or sleep shorts.
Like one giant pouch on the ass to hold your bourbon while you're walking around your house pantsless?
I use this.
I either fill it with brum or brakda.
Those are great for hidden soup, too!
Yeah if you like burned nipples.
Don't pretend like you don't.
Nah, you do it room temp. Nothing like some refreshing clam chowder on a jog!
More likely to happen than women's clothes with pockets
They kinda do already. But it's just one and it's front and center.
My cell phone falls out of that one.
Wrap your willy around it then
My dick wouldn’t go around the narrow side.
Well wrap it length-wise like the rest of us.
They do. My boxers have pockets.
You guys have enough fucking pockets, let the women have some
There’s enough pockets for everyone.
No according to Big Pocket there isn't.
But then you would have to lose the pockets on your pants! You would have to replace pants pockets with pass-through holes, so you could actually access the boxer pockets.
For a phone? Waistband tuck in the bikini bridge gets me by most of the time. But really, the solution for me is just keep some gym shorts handy.
But they already have!
- place phone or other item to side of thigh lined up with bottom of the trunk
- roll up
- tuck rubber band under item
Done.
Pretty sure they do actually! We were at the store once and saw some underwear with pockets. Looked like a neat concept.
