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.

There is. You have things like "Antisemite of the Year" "Jerk of the Year" "Nobel Peace Prize" "Worst Games of the Year"

Did you see how the ceremony went? Trump just grabbed the award like he was the grinch stealing a present. Then he put the thing on his own neck, and stood there like a dork.

"Look at me! I'm the bestest president ever!"

No. You're a dork, who just created the first ever FIFA whatever award, because you DIDN'T actually win the peace prize anyone actually gives a damn about. You didn't win the real one because you don't know what PEACE means. Peace isn't ramping up agencies who's sole job is to kidnap people off the street. You've done nothing to promote peace in our times. You're not deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. So now you're standing there like a dork.

Everybody laugh at Trump! Look how embarrassing he looks!!! Hahahahaha!!!!!

Alright, alright. We've had our fun, but I do feel the need to appologize.

........The Grinch is actually a pretty solid guy. He gets undeserved hate. An entire town belittles him, and bullys him for being different. Fuck that town! Stand with Grinch!

What? You thought I was going to appologize to Trump? Fuck off! Fuck Trump!

Those responsible for the Antisemite award deserve other awards themselves. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz, one of the few media outlets there that still retains a spark of humanity, hints at this in the following opinion piece: This Is the 'Crime' That Got Ms. Rachel Nominated for 'Antisemite of the Year'

You kinda answered your own question though. It's a matter of opinion. Which is often a badge of honor.
