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
UBI and public housing is more effective to prevent homelessness. Having said that, I'd love to see more and more cooperative based communities.
Back when I lived in Maryland the local Coca-Cola plant shut down, I was trying to buy it to convert the offices into apartments and then tear out the the concrete courtyard to turn it all into a community garden.
Coke wanted next to nothing for it if I was a business, but when they learned of my plans the price was vastly different. I was young and naive and probably could have started a company to buy it.
