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.

All kinds of "timesavers" or "productivity enhancers". All of these are just to get YOU to do more.

BINGO, you are talking my philosophy of life. I always hate how my 1990s-2000s jobs started jacking-up how much work they wanted employees to achieve in same amount of time. My 70s year old father & his father & brothers & sisters was way ahead of this modern trend, & it always drove me crazy, because the products they produced was not as good as supposed to be & their corporate customers never cared. Inam just made to rush through quality & treating customers correctly.
