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.

The corporate wet dream, subscriptions for an addictive product.
Nah, we can do better than that. Just add microtransactions for premium responses, loot boxes for random fun personalities, and a battle pass for exclusive chat themes. Oh, and let's not forget daily login bonuses for extra chat time, exclusive avatars for early subscribers, and a seasonal event that requires you to chat 12 hours a day to unlock the ultimate bot personality. Then we’re in business. And don’t worry, we’ll throw in some limited-time offers that expire in 10 minutes, just to keep things spicy! Plus, if you can maintain a streak of daily chats, you can earn badges and achievements. BTW which one sounds more exciting: gold coins or diamonds?
So, Replika?
