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.

Cargo cults are where people perform the same actions they see someone more advanced (or just born wealthier) doing and trying to copy it without understanding why it worked for them.

The idea that dressing right and going to the same areas as the Ultrawealthy will make you so, is literally dressing like expect that to be a major component of what makes the wealth.

I've thought this about LinkedIn for a while. Repeating the same "incantations" online hoping to find favour from the corpo-gods.

LinkedIn is absolutely part of the digital altar. Come show your commitment and they will take notice of you.
