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.

Know what I mean?

Movie speech is so "elegant", every word is perfectly spoken.

But reality is like: "um... so you know... I... uh..."... the spur of the moment, non-rehearsed, reality.

Maybe movies should add more "inelegance" to make them seem more "realistic".

I'd like to be able to talk like a stand-up comedian. I rehearse shit in my head. Put the funny word at the end! Sometimes it even comes out the way I intend.

I talk like a couple stand-up comedians.

Specifically Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks. Full of anger and lots of yelling.

Two of my all-time favourites. Since those legends are no longer with us, though, you might also like Simon King
