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 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.

People making content for NSFW subreddits makes sense to me now that there's good money to be made.

I didn't really understand the motivation before when so many people made regular content for internet strangers for nothing. Especially when so many of the comments are so sleazy and rapey.

It wasn't for nothing. It was to get off on it. Which made it more attractive than those doing it for money.

Right? We weren't pretending to be horny just to get paid, we actually were depraved people getting horny for each other.

It was a simpler time back then...

Exhibitionism. It's hot and fun when people get to see you be sexual

If you don't understand it, then that probably just means you're not into exhibitionism, but many people (including myself) are

It was for horni. Never underestimate the power of horni.

I'm one of the people still posting quite high cuality content of myself online for completely free (I'm a guy) I do it because I'm exhibitionist. I like being seen in minimal clothing in public as well, this is just a variation of that.

You need the right playground, and too many of them are become market places

It’s just hit me. Reddit is gonna start putting stuff behind a paywall, this will 100% be porn and OC creators might get paid, OF style, cause so many “advertise” on Reddit…why not cut out the middle man? Or I’m bonkers.
