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.

Try to fit in with the normies: talk about soccer, suffer sexist jokes, suffer racist ideology,…

Until you can’t take it anymore.

The bomb bursts, you start over,…

Rinse and repeat.

Try to fit in with your weirdo’s: it’s also not 100%, but it sure beats the ever living shit out of that other thing.

The older you get the more you get comfortable and the less you’re inclined to get new people in your life (that’s what they say in general, I’m sure there’s exceptions).

Value the ones you got if they’re not toxic. As with everything, life’s too short and we’re only here once.

(Sorry if that’s dark, shitty day)
