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 mean we can now document every single day of our lives, even down to the seconds, if we wanted to...

Which reminds me tho... I've been thinking about the idea of journaling for the past... 5 years... but actually doing feels so boring so I never started... like every day is just do boring and cringe lmfao

Like what do I even write? "Oohh I'm a boring piece of shit that stayed home all day because of depression"

I'm lame as fuck...

Idk... feel weird that most of history... people could not even do stuff like journaling or worldbuilding...

Like idk what I would do as a hobby instead of writing poetry if I was born 100 years ago and illiterate...
