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...

Yeah yeah mate.

I've suffered depression on and off for my whole life. Ain't no one going to get me out of this but me and when I am eating well, exercising, working a job I don't dislike and being social, I am happiest and my depression is quietest. It's hard to keep it constant but I don't post shit on social media making never ending excuses and essentially treating mental health like terminal cancer.

My entire point is your post is supposed to relate to depressed people and you're essentially telling people who have little to no will power depending on the time of day that everything is useless and nothing helps. I truly don't understand the point of it..
