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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Is it really cannibalism if the meat wasn't actually from a person? ๐Ÿค”

They say you are what you eat, so you eat what you are. Therefore you are a cannibal

Regarding your username, if you log into lemmy with normal characters, does it let you or do you have to use the emoji letters every time?

[โ€“] 56_@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

The emoji letters are just a display name. The actual username, which you log in with, uses normal characters.

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

It's just the display name. Usernames can't use special characters.
