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

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

My wife and one of our dogs take the same anxiety medicine. No joke, the dog takes a higher dose.

We loved dogs so much we gave them our hopes and our fears.

I got a dog during the pandemic for emotional support because I was living along and only leaving my apartment once a week. My dog's on Prozac 🤷🏻‍♀️

The cat needs an emotional support dog/parrot/turtle/horse/shark or something.
