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.

This should not have surprised me after all these years, but it did. The internet was a mistake

You should probably take solace from the fact that there's still depths of depravity of which you are unaware!

Oh, yeah, a friend ruined me for life, when he said he doesn't like to watch horror movies, because he is always reminded that he knows that whatever happens in those movies, far, far worse stuff is happening in real life somewhere. I always think that now, whenever I watch a scary movie.

I remember when the Internet first came along, and everybody was so excited about the future potential for the improvement of mankind, and I just kept thinking:

"Have you ever met any People? This going to get really bad."

It was fine before the normies came on

I dont think normies are the folks -checks notes- making porn of people's dead loved ones. Nothing about that is normal. Even before that, I've met people. They'll ruin anything if you let em, even the good ones in spaces that stretch and skew liberties like the web. Just cant agree on this one.
