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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

You lot? I use you lot in place of y'all, because I can't bring myself to contract you and all together.

That sounds rude, though. Like "you people".

Right?? I kept asking friends and family if that's too rude, and they assured me that it wasn't, so I kept using it. I guess it might be on tone of voice, too.

It's not rude. I say youse.

Hahaha!!! That's a good one! I'm gonna start using that!

I think that's a British way of saying it, if I'm not mistaken

We have quite a few actually, "you lot", "yous", "cunts" etc.

I believe you're correct. I picked it up from some Aussie and Britt friends about a decade ago.

Y'all just feels more all encompassing where as you lot sounds to me like a limited number of people.
