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.

It's not "heavy" snow - that is lots and lots of it.. it's heavy wet snow that is the absolute fucker.

So far this winter, here in coastal New England, it's been powdery and cold. Easy-peasy to shovel.

Love it!

Yeah there's a reason they call that "heart attack snow"

Well I nipped that bitch in the bud.

Just came in from shoveling the driveway - AND did the street margin up to the walkway of my house, leaving the curbstone exposed, so that the plow drivers will know where the edge is. Had a city worker come along and go tightly along the curb and got the stuff I'd chipped loose, so that was WAY hella nice of him. Get that road-crusty wet shit outta the way.

I will likely go out in another 5 hours and clean the space up where my husband parks, so he can just come in tonight after work with no problem.
