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.

The Swarovskis my friend worked for exclusively took helicopters to France and England. No idea why.

They'd sometimes do that for dinner and a sleepover.

Had a rich girlfriend for a while. At one point her dad grounded her, litterally. Revoked access to use the family jet(s) (they owned one, but prefered to use a private company that would just have them wheels up from anywhere to anywhere in like an hour, without all the hassle of maintenance schedules, pilot vacation days, etc.) She was in her 30s and had complete meltdown over it. She even refused to go to their house on fisher's island for christmass because she wouldnt fly first class. So we had to throw our own party in town, with like 60k worth of catering for 10 guests.
