About

A subreddit for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to the types of thoughts you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming. At their best, showerthoughts are universally relatable and find the amusing/interesting within the mundane.

Please be respectful of others' submissions. Rudeness is unacceptable.

Please read our rules before submitting.

Please read the FAQ before messaging the moderators.

    For an explanation of what a showerthought actually is (and is not), please read this page.

  • 3. Your entire thought must be in the title.
    You may include examples, explanations, or further information in the body section, but all posts to /r/Showerthoughts must stand on their own as nothing but a title.

Please see the complete rules page for a full explanation of each of the preceding rules.

Exceedingly nonsensical or common thoughts will be removed at the discretion of the moderation team, as will thoughts that are poorly written, overly vulgar, or obscene.

This subreddit is moderated for quality, which means we remove content that we deem to be low-quality, low-effort, nonsensical, or common/unoriginal. We do not "let the votes decide." We understand this type of policy is controversial and uncommon (especially for a high-traffic subreddit), but we believe it gives /r/Showerthoughts the best chance at maintaining quality.

Special thanks to our past moderators!

The world can be divided into two types of people; those who have already hit rock bottom and only have a better future ahead of them, and those whose worst moment in their life has yet to happen.

and you have no way of knowing which one you are.

you might have already gone through the worst of the pain and trauma in your life, either self-inflicted, accidental or inflicted by others.

or that worst time in your life might lie ahead in your future. Scary to think about.

Only citizens can have too much spending power inflation, not corporations

Kinda weird. People are punished if they get too much purchase power as inflation. Yet if corporations make trillions in profit, there is no such inflation. They can have endless of money without affecting the economy in the same way.

Short people with umbrellas are assholes

Rainy days it's always the shorter people who will walk through the crowd with umbrella out poking people as they walk by, even while under cover.

The scariest thing about mental health isn't being confused; it's being ignorant of your own confusion.
