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.

Exercise, have a salad for dinner sometimes, be careful who you date and keep friends you can trust to tell you when you're fucking up.

Meaning can be found in pain and we all face that.

Religions are fairy tales for children who are afraid of death. They have nothing to do with reality. There is no god and no rational reason to believe in one. Part of growing up is accepting that.

Except from that guy who did miracles and stuff and rose from the dead

If you're looking to waste both time, and money, sure.

Going to church is free 🤨 what church did you go to?

Peer pressure to tithe just told rolls off you?

And I didn't, because I'm not wasting my time listening to some self proclaimed authority figure tell me to ignore anything that disagrees with him or that bronze age book.

Strengthen your core. Lower back pain in your mid-30s is a bitch. Also, take care of your teeth and floss everyday. Start investing early. Any amount you can set aside, no matter how small, will payoff if you start early.

If you don't know yet learn a second language. Chinese seems the most useful nowadays.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, why do you think Chinese is useful?

Seems to be where the world is marching. They are surpassing the US and competing in many areas. They have a large population that is starting to travel more often. They are producing large content online that is not translated. They have their own YouTube equivalent (Bilibili), etc...

Always double-check.
For example, the community you are posting in.

Measure twice, post once!
