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.

Plus, I doubt the person making the threat would wait for any actual preparations such as canceling various subscriptions. And I don't think they'd allow for the necessary witnesses required while I'm writing my will.

Inigo Montoya saying it so many times feels like an action movie where some idiot with a gun cocks it over and over every time they really mean it this time.

Except of course Mandy Patinkin is a fucking treasure.

I watched a lot of movies as a kid, but I never noticed until Back to the Future (the 2nd one, I think), with Biff Tannen cocking his revolver excessively on the roof. That movie caused me to start counting.
