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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Hippos don’t actually swim. They run along the bottom.

I would rather challenge them in another Olympic sport. I can't imagine they'd be good at table tennis.

Damn, turns out we really are as boring as we think we are. There truly is nothing original in the world 😂

I read hippos as hippies and was thoroughly confused by the time I read the whole thing

Thought I still had to head back to reddit for the Triathlon threads, but here we are.

This reminds me of a time I was beaten by a hippo in a triathlon, bad memories all around

This is bad for me, because someone stole my bike.
