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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Mandatory nudity probably would improve general public health... for a while. Eventually, though, laziness would win and then we'd all be sorry.

It would not improve public health up here in Canada, it would increase cases of frostbite.

The (US) city I live in is farther North than something like 70% of the population of your country!

Minneapolis. Continental US.

Most of Canada live in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver BC; Minneapolis is father north than where the bulk of the population of Canada lives.

Edit: Figured you might want a source. 70% of Canadians live South of the 49th parallel.. Minneapolis lies near the 45th parallel.
