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.

Most of the time, you don't know you didn't want to see a movie until after you saw it and found out it fucking sucks.

If only there was a place people could discuss the goodness of a movie and look at how other people found their experience, before buying a ticket oneself.

If only everyone shared exactly the same opinions on everything cuz you still run into the same problem when people say it's good, but then you don't agree after seeing it yourself.

A well written review will detail why they thought it was good, so the reader can think about if those reasons would make it enjoyable for them.

Unfortunately, most people are semi literate and writing at that level is a challenge
