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.

On those occasions where just letting Librewolf generate a random-looking one isn't good enough and I need to actually remember a password, I get them by picking some random words from /usr/share/dict/british-english-insane and putting them together with small but memorable changes that would be difficult to guess.

Every time I do it, it feels like the best password I ever came up with.

Those random passwords are really hard to type correctly and even harder to pronounce. If you can pronounce it it, typing it suddenly becomes easier. How about using gibberish words you can pronounce and type. Sort of like goobaFodi3hesto/roli. Can't find any of that in a dictionary, but you can actually type it when needed.
