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.

Yeah but so would a lot of predators anyway. A tiger probably wouldn't do much damage if it could just slap or gum you

According to this source, adult male bengal tigers weigh 380-580 lbs. Pretty sure it could just run into you at full speed and do plenty of damage.

I stand corrected. Idk why I thought they were lighter than that.

Because they move like kitties!

I think if a tiger slaps you, it could probably at least give you a concussion

If I removed the teeth and claws of a tiger, I'd still bet on it to win v an unarmed human 100 times out of 100.
