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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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 anybody in any position of power therr was innocent they'd do it themselves. Given what everybody "knows" I'd want my name as cleared as possible.
I personally believe its simply a blackmail game where "we're all in this together now" and theres only a handful of evil thats sticking to everyone even remotely involved, but the more this drags on the less I believe it.
I genuinely think that there's a point in every political career (probably at about the mid-to large city level) where you go to a networking event and they take you into a back room with a kid and tell you to rape them on camera or your career ends there. I don't think it's possible to reach any position of real power without letting the existing powers have some kind of blackmail material on you.
Pretty much. Showbiz is close, except you're the one selling your body to some gross old white dude with jowls, and it's no secret for instance there was a "blonde boom" back in the Weinstein days because that's what he liked to fuck.
They were always in there together but somewhere down the line they had some dispute amongst themselves and the whole Epstein thing happened and now the cat's out of the bag and the situation has to be managed but everyone is trying not to lose face whilst doing it, or it was a miscalculation by Mossad (Epstein was Mossad, just in case you were not aware), or one by an American three letter agency. Regardless, they were always in there together, even American "leftist heroes" (if they're not silenced and live freely in America when the empire kills innocents around the world for less, one should be wary), and there are enough publicly available pictures for anyone to understand that whatever colour your team is, they're in cahoots, get paid by the same folk and touch the same kids.
