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.

Who needs guns and tanks when you've got a dog the size of a horse that can run at 258 mph and breathe fire? And he's biddable enough to be commanded by a ten year old.

War Horses.

War Elephants.

K9 units.

Fucking dolphins: The US actually uses dolphins to patrol the waters around naval bases.

We already do this in reality, without the animals having superpowers.

But also, if you go by Gen 1 descriptions, Alakazam has an IQ of 5000, so.... probably this would not end well for humanity.

At this point, half the legendary pokemon are like, the avatar of the concept of space-time itself, so...

Yeah
