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.

I sometimes wonder what the kids iq would be... He is 12 physically but I would put at 3 max mentally. Not saying anything negative but being honest.

He can use the bathroom but can't put his underwear on. He knocks on the door till someone comes put his underwear back on.

Eating a bowl of cereal is 50/50 if he can do it himself.

He likes watching blues clues, Thomas and friends, paw patrol. He yells the answer to most questions but I don't know if he knows the answer or just knows they say this so I should say that.

He is severely autistic and epileptic among other problems. He is sweet and loving but how to measure what his actual intelligence I have no idea.

IQ testes only test logic puzzle solving skills (& memory sometimes), so there is no way for you to measure your own actual intelligence, let alone your autistic kid's
