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.

I received a highlight for this year. It was a photo of myself bruised up from a vehicle collision. Just bruises.

I found this amusing and wondered if this would be a fitting interpretation of everyone’s year.

Oh there are two different sides of me. The awkward one feels like I don't deserve to exist, and the absolute dance goddess who looks like a fairy in the sky. Take your pick between my two alter egos but photos do exist of both.

How exactly does a person have a photo of awkward, undeserving existence?

A photo taken of me when I was feeling awkward & undeserving of existence.
