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.

She is not creating the system, but is in fact reinforcing it. It is by definition undemocratic.
I am glad she's shedding the capital, but be real, she's never going to shed enough to come back to the realm of ordinary humans. She married an oligarch, and by being an oligarch that temporarily embarrassed billionaires such as yourself stan for, she is a shining beacon of justification for the system as it is.
I hope that once I achieve oligarch status myself, that you and I can carry on this deep conversation!
Again with the uninformed judgemental bullshit. They married before Bezos even founded Amazon. I'd suggest informing yourself before making an ass of yourself yet again, but I know I'd be wasting my time. I've got better things to do, so consider yourself blocked.
