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.

Yes and no. If you're aware of it you just miss your flight. Buuut, what would very much suck is being mid flight with at least 12 hours left to destination, and no in flight Wi-Fi to boot. Just you, the same in flight movies, and your fellow passengers for years of repeat flight experience.

What would you even do? Learn every line from every movie in every language? Get to know everyone on the flight intimately?

The only logical answer is…

Learn how to skydive.

How do you do that when your loop is being on the plane already?

I mean, suicide was quite prominent in Groundhog Day, so...

I'd guess that without having a parachute, it would always be error.

Oh, that's a nightmare! In the movie, there were so many things he could learn and do because he was in a town.

With my luck I'd get one where I wake up with massive diarrhea and vomiting, and have to spend the day by the toilet.

Oh God, imagine having air sickness. Your first goal would be to learn to control it somehow. This is like a horror film, lol

Would be funny if they made a horror movie sequel.

This is more or less the plot to Palm Springs. Dude gets stuck in a time loop the day of his cheating girlfriend's friend's wedding that he doesn't wanna be at, full of people he doesn't know, in the middle of the desert. It's implied that he was stuck in there for hundreds of years because he knows every intimate detail about everyone in town pretty much.
