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:
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.
It's used for bad things, but there's nothing wrong with the term and is generally good practice.
Get some sun, but in moderation.
Help people, but in moderation (don't set yourself on fire to warm others. In other words, practice self-care)
Eat in moderation.
Exercise in moderation.
Play video games in moderation.
Hell, brush your teeth in moderation. Don't strip the enamel brushing 8 times a day.
Work in moderation.
Doom scroll in moderation. (stay aware, don't get to the point of crushing sense of despair)
Basically, most things are best practiced in moderation. And if one feels compelled to do harmful things, doing them in moderation can help mitigate the damage.
