Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower.

Some of the posts in this community are just crazy out of whack.

Oof, shots fired.
- all wounds septic

BaskinginmyownfilthThoughts doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
- Oh but it would be so much more accurate. Someone please create that community.
- c/MoulderingThoughts

anecdote: during the pandemic every day seemed the same. i sometimes forgot ro shower for a few days. so i put a water sensor in my shower. when i shower, it starts a macrodroid automation that records the date. another macro plans and reminds me when it's shower time.
- Lieutenant Commander Data, is that you?
  
  Nah, they didn't say anything about implementing voice activation by the command "engage".
- forgot ro shower for a few days
  My doctor called that depression.
  
  nah, i just couldn't remember because all days were so similar. i was like "did i shower yet or was that yesterday" almost went mad ngl

you guys have thoughts?

I don't know how I'm going to recover from this burn...
- Take a shower
- Lukewarm water helps prevent the skin from peeling or shrinking at the burn site

My shower thoughts are always repeating cycles of "fuuuuuuuck this feels niiiiiiiiice" and "time to turn up the heat a smidge." Am I doing it wrong?
- Yes. Not enough daydreaming about winning arguments, mixed with intrusive thoughts and general self-loathing.
- my shower thoughts are always "God damnit get this shit over with, I want to get out of this fucking water coffin already.... I wonder what would happen if you cooked rice in milk? GOD DAMNIT WHY CANT WE HAVE STAR TREK SONIC SHOWERS YET"
  
  If these are blue and spiky I might prefer regular ones
- Uggggh I'm jealous. The city is working on the civic plumbing for months and basically the work their doing means my on-demand hot water heater barely goes up to "tepid."
  Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the infrastructure work.
  Maybe I'll go shower at the gym or a friend's lol
- I'm in the situation where it's hot as fuck out (I don't run the ac) so it's become the opposite game, how low can I get the temperature.

Excuse me, I shower once a fortnight whether I need it or not!

Bro u shower too much
- Once a day is definitely not too much.

Excuse me, but do you know how many people I have to kill to take a shower around here?
- Sir, this is a Wendy's. You're not allowed to shower around here. You have to go home to do that.

I'm only subbed because I'm too disabled to shower myself.

I don't ever have philosophical thoughts in the shower. I just think ordinary things that people usually think of outside the shower. And I shower once a week, so... yeah idk what a "shower thought" is. But I just come here for the philosophy goodness.
- Similarly, people interested in philosophy (and other theoretical stuff) might take a break and think of different things like "but how's the soap made, anyway?".
  
  I recently looked up how to make soap. Shit's complicated.
  
  I'm not one of those people, but it's interesting how that specifically happens in the shower and not anywhere else.

I cunt believe you've done this...

Everyone in this comment section needs to stop what they're doing and switch to Arch. I use Arch btw. Did you know that you don't have to regularly take a shower to be allowed to use Arch?
- Wow. ! It's a match made under the arches of heaven !

Or don't think

Lemmy showerthoughts is the mind dump community I always wanted

Maybe because the oldentimes r/showerthoughts was explicitly NOT for thoughts that came to you in the shower. They were kinda strickt about it and stoned your snoo to death if you dared.
- Every super big subreddit devolved into places where only the mods and their friends were allowed to post. Everyone else's would be deleted and then pointed toward extremely vague rules that literally could have multiple interpretations depending on the context. Like you'd post to Pics and it would be deleted for being an odd numbered size in kilobytes or a non standard resolution.

Then where are they even having thoughts? I don't think the location is what's different. I think they're just on different drugs.

ELI5

OP, If the world doesn't fit your expectations, it best to change them because you're not going to change the world.
- Are you telling OP to break into peoples houses and force shower them?
  
  That'd be the opposite of what I said.
  
  Instructions unclear, I'm being added to a list now

Go pester Link ya judgemental fuck.
