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.

Depends on how you want to construct the negation of a compound descriptor—one construction would give you “Something Somewhere Sequentially”, while another would give you “Nothing Anywhere Ever”.

“Something Somewhere Sequentially”

this would be a great name for a computer science/computer science history textbook

And also a great name for a movie in the Everything Everywhere All at Once series. I don't really mind if it would be prequel or sequel though.

I would watch both of those in IMAX.

"Nothing nowhere never"

It would be the inverse of it, or possibly a spoof.

I wanted to like that film but couldn’t get into it. Thought it tried to hard to be quirky.

I think that is definitely something the film risks, but the ultimately very grounded central story about the character relationships, fantastic fight scenes and awesome costume design keep it from feeling frivolous to me like that, to each their own!

Swiss Army Man I did not feel like avoided this fate on the otherhand so yeah I can dig that kind of criticism of the movie.

Sometimes maybe I guess so

It seems more thematic to cap it with "None of it at once" or something similar.
