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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
On my dad's side, actually yes. They died either side of 100 when I was in my early 20s. I'm old enough to remember spending time with them and hearing about their lives. I didn't meet the other sides, but my maternal grandfather compiled a book about his line which was quite interesting (and this was when one still had to go to the library and search through newspapers, etc. or have them call other libraries to get info).
