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.

I feel obligated to say that in no way do I condone the actions of Jeffery Epstein and others like him.

Yep! The other side benefits are that if your info gets sold online/leaked/what have you, and you start getting emails from your "bank" at the email you used to sign up for a random browser game in 2018, it's easier to tell that it's a scam. Not even that expensive either, I think I pay a total of $56/yr for the domain and the email?

Only issue is I usually put the month/year in the alias so if something does happen I don't need to remember if this is the first or third email for a service. If I don't mark down the email in my password manager (rare, but has happened), I have the fun issue of forgetting my email and password for the account, because idfk when I signed up for this
