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.

School spends a long time "wasting" our time but learning things is a great way to learn how to interpret information and make actual informed decisions

Like that thing in 1984. And that episode of Star Trek TNG

A credit card is a card to say "these people will pay you and I'll owe them money"

With a gift card, you're choosing items that have already been paid for, the company already got the money and you're just picking out what you want to buy with it

An anti-establishment wizard and his misfit friends fight evil cultists and magical monsters while dodging the corrupt and incompetent bureaucracy of the magical world.

Potter grows up to join the Aurors, only to get the Lethal Weapon treatment and become a private eye with a target on his back. Goes on to tangle with the mortal mob, picks fights with the vampire cartels, and piles up debts against the faerie courts. All while gathering a clientele of the weakest and most vulnerable in the wizarding world.

If you save her live twice every year, how many lives did you save per year?

Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

There are a lot of bad countries to be born into, I mean just look up the countries with the top number of births.

Also, reincarnation might not be limited to humans... lots of factory farm animals out there for you to be reincarnated as... 👀

Honestly its one of the reasons I wanna live this life as long as I can, I wanna delay being in Afganistan, or North Korea, or a mouse that gets killed by the housecat, or being a damn cockroach.

I hear these comments for not wanting to help people, and it feels like we're worshipping individuality to the detriment of community, which is necessary for survival.

  • "I don't want my money going to ___ ."
  • "This is not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic!"
  • "You don't have any freedoms under socialism/communism."
  • "They're just looking for a handout because they're lazy."
  • "I'm a self-made man. I didn't need anyone's help."
  • "Empathy is not a virtue."
  • "I don't see how that's my problem."

Thanks to @TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip for reminding me about this train of thought that I had years ago during COVID lol.

Who knows if viruses used to be helpful had they not gone awry?!
