Showerthoughts

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.

Seriously you read about people who die young, and people always pretend to care after they are already dead like "omg, this is so sad, they could've acomplished so much, he had a bright future ahead of him! wHaT a tRaGeDy, iF oNlY wE cOuLd'vE FoRSeEn tHiS"...

why didn't y'all do anything while they were still alive? hypocrites...

Starting the comment with idk implies that you are starting a counter argument. As in, I don't know if that's true...

lol you really tryna introduce debate etiquette to the comments section when ~~you~~ they also answered "but you......clearly.....right?" implying certainty that I did, which ~~you~~ they were correct about. And now you also somehow wanna continue after someone already ~~told you you~~ said they were right by asking if internet slang is a form of textual chironomia.

That wasn't me. I'm a third party who read the conversation between the two of you and decided that your extra snark was uncalled for.
