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.

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!
