Showerthoughts

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.

"白痴" (moron or idiot) counts as a swear in zh. "抐屎" (to churn shit) isn't a swear in zh-min-nan.

Irish for you? That's Scottish for me. I once saw a woman yelling at her brother in public with a heavy, heavy Scottish accent and a head full of inky black curls taking rapid to the wind. It woke something deep inside of me.

"And yeh dinney thenk tae arsk, yeh daft cont?! What in the fahk is wroung weth yeh?!" Unnf. Heart still flutters at the thought and idk whats wrong with me so dont ask unless its in a Scottish accent and you are being very critical plz
