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.

And I might add maybe not the happiest people either. They could have everything they want yet they don't always seem all that happy. Elon Musk for example doesn't seem much happier than the average person, maybe even less so (depends on who you're comparing against of course).

Think about it. He can never really know if someone likes him or is just sucking up because he's rich and famous. Gotta be rough not having any friends. I think that's why some rich people get caught with prostitutes. They KNOW where they stand.

Don't mistake this as sympathy for him, just an explanation as to one of the reasons he may be unhappy.
