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.

"Resting metabolic rate is lower in women than in men":
Granted, it's entirely possible for individual variation or for a woman to eat larger portions than she needs, but that's true of either sex.
Good try, extraterrestrial being. We're not going to elaborate on our species to fill in your gaps of basic knowledge of us.
Women tend eat smaller portions
I can accept this at face value.
therefore they get hungry faster
Lost me already. On average, women need less calories. If I have a 10 gallon tank of fuel, but drive at a rate of 5gallons and hour... I will need to fill up more often than my wife that drives at 3 gallons an hours on a 9 gallon tank.
which leads them to, more often, take the initiative to go find or make food.
Not in my experience. I ask my wife what's for a meal as a courtesy... I'm the one rummaging through the fridge to make myself something.
That feels completely contrary to my own experiences
Of course! We finally solved the mystery of why the women always did the hunting and gathering /s
In the wild every woman is a hunter
We find food because men -
1- keep asking what there is to eat, and
2-can't find things in the panty or fridge without help.
That's a nice typo that also fits some people from what I've heard.
