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.

I would use this as a gamer tag but I'm afraid people would think it's Nazi related with the two "88's"

[–] gon@lemm.ee 20 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Unless your name is AryanWarrior1488 I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

I was thinking it would make a great book title for a novel about an underground cult of Voodoo practicing Nazis.

People were born in '88, unless someone's throwing up other red flags that alone doesn't raise suspicion

[–] yukichigai 17 points 5 days ago (3 children)

People were also born on the 14th in '88. Any of 'em who have sense don't put that in their username though, at least for very long.

“SONOS" is exactly the same if you rotate it 180 degrees.

Instead of reading between the lines, the trick is to read above an imaginary line.
