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.

Where the hell did all that time go?

Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool's "10,000 Days" album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.

Older people consume the content because that’s the dynamic that we are used to. Few produce it, we don’t have much we “need” to share or say, we are also busy earning. Young people are also busy earning, but it just so happens that their business is the platform, and they “need” to share - not that anyone is asking them to except for the advertising machine that feeds off the engagement, click and rage bait.
