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.

they weasel their way into your body, capturing it from the inside, bending it into a mindless zombie, a slave to the ~~empire~~ virus

But that is not what predators do, they kill and viruses most often only kill unintentionally.

yeah i'm pretty sure that the tiger would prefer not to kill the gazelle too (sothat he can feast on the same gazelle again tomorrow), but alas, that's not possible.

No a parasite is not a predator, they are not the same thing, they are spelt completely differently for starters. Although they do both start with pee, the same as does your perfect night in with Mrs gandalf.
