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.

If you actually value your anonymity, you will not be able to use most popular communication platforms in the coming months. It's a perfect storm for the outright invasion of privacy in the USA right now.

Learning to code allows you to build and use your own (as well as other less known) tools.

Does this make sense?

Learn. To. ~~Coed.~~ Code.

Bonus Showerthought: If your parents are from two different jus sanguinus countries, you could end up with 4 citizenships at birth!

Now if your grandparents are all from different countries... and allows you to claim citizenship by ancestry...

Okay just how many citizenships could one theoretically obtain at birth? Hmmm 🤔

No one can deny the beauty of the 80s and 90s commercials we grew up with.. They honestly remind us of the sweetness and simplicity of those days. If anyone from the 80s generation has seen the Apple ad with the amazing Ridley Scott, or remembered the Coca-Cola "Hilltop" ad and how we all sang along!! and oh, the sweetness of the Nintendo "Game Boy" ad when we played without ever getting bored or tired of it... And of course, I cant forget the Nike "Just Do It" ad, which was a sensation. As young people, no holiday would pass without getting a pair of Nike sneakers. As for perfumes, the Chanel No. 5 ad takes you back to romantic occasions and university celebrations when that was the fragrance you wanted everyone to smell in your youth. Anyone from the 80s generation who loves 80s and 90s commercials, gather around!

When I was 8, I remember being bored and curious and touching a lot of parents stuff... phones... wallets... legal documents...

Most parents don't put their stuff in safes...

Like... THE WALLET IS RIGHT THERE... I COULD JUST GRAB IT!

If they had age verification stuff back then... I could've just... quickly snap a pic of their ID and just YOLO it...

because their sense of vision is not good enough for that. they probably don't even know that stars (besides the sun) even exist.

Or just real dumb I guess.

There's probably an extraterrestrial kid out there right now, doodling a rainbow instead of doing homework.

Will mental models and metaphors of drug use change once transport runs only on pure energy, no substance input of any kind needed any more?

Alt universe Showerthought:

[I really want to live in the Universe where I didn't commit murder to get this "What If" Machine... I can already hear the police sirens getting louder...]

I'm so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.

Like, read every sentence in every story of each day's newspaper, trusting the editor not to print anything that would be too much of a waste of time.
