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.

Where the hell did all that time go?

Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool's "10,000 Days" album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.

On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?

My oldest account I can still access is my eBay account at roughly 20 years old. Next oldest is my Steam account at 18.

The absolute first video I saw on YouTube was the evolution of dance... which was one of the first ever viral videos ever...

I think that one predates YouTube. I remember first watching it on a friends computer who shared his files during a LAN party

It was first uploaded to youtube, it is possible that your friend downloaded (I am sure it was possible even back then) or simply showed it to you and you weren't aware it was YouTube. I didn't even know what YouTube was when I was first saw it in 2006.

Who TF is looking at YT in the shower? Bro, wash off, rub one out and dry off. You need at least like 30 seconds a day away from your screen. They didn't water protect your phone so you could doomscroll instead of washing your ass.
