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.

Personally, I like "Trump 'n Dump" to give credit where credit is due

Yeah I was trying to avoid something that included his name directly to keep it out of the lexicon as much as possible.

When it's negative, I think it's good to get it in.

We all know Hitler too and he's mentioned alot in a time periode, but I think his legacy is a little stained imo.

I fully expect an even larger crash will be coming within the next year, possibly only weeks away

I wouldn't be surprised. Do you know much about the markets?

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My main prediction here is Trump and his crew will continue to ratchet up the authoritarianism. And when he starts invading other countries, the markets will react

Some stocks will go up if he starts WW3, I suppose. Arms. Fwiw. 🙄.
