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.

Meh, I actually know how to code without the help of AI and my knowledge in computer science is minimal. A lot of people assume you need to be good at math and whatnot to be a software developer but in reality it's like the difference between being a construction worker and having an engineering degree.

Edit: I'm a senior software engineer for a big tech company. Y'all down voting me are either over-inflating what software engineers do on a day-to-day or undervaluing what construction workers do.

I’m a comp science web designer. Because of my dyslexia. I never could get hired as a real dev. Ai does a bit of the cleaning up I have trouble with and helps me speed up my development. I appreciate it for that. But you still need to know the code for the programs to work. There is still a need for humans. So far. But for how much longer?
