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.

Do you have a standard of living you want to upkeep without having to work around your pile of stuff?

Do you consider some items not of good enough quality to be owned and maintained by you?

Do you not want to see the world burn and the source of your collection to fail so you can't collect anymore?

Congrats you have standards and can collect away.

Nice.

That means my thousands upon thousands of Magic the Gathering cards languishing on my shelves are a collection, since they're organized into labeled binders, right?

Honestly... If you know where they are, and how they are being kept... Yeah.

You can have a silly collection of thousands and thousands of rocks you picked up, but if they were in binders labeled what they are it would be a collection too.

Come back to me when you have a pile you sleep on and we can talk about upgrading you to Hoard.
