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.

You mean he'd be dead because he'd blast his own face off?

Because he wears a visor constantly to contain it so he's never dependent on his eyelids.

Someone taught me on this site a while back that his visor isn’t a mirror or a filter. I had questioned why they didn’t heat up and they explained that it’s apparently a straight-up portal that sends the energy to another dimension. Wild stuff.

Wasn’t it Ruby (or sapphire) back in the day? Might’ve just been the cartoon but I think they had that in there at some point. It’s such a weird power that at I think writers just go with whatever they can to carry the story forward.
