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 really, maybe "getting stuck in time loops" is actually a problem of the modern era, so some nice people decided to create these media as an instruction manual in case we do get stuck in time loops... or sent back through time, or parallel timelines, alt-universes, or some other space-time shenanigans, etc...

I don't even know if my memories are real

Is my life a lie?

What if last thursday I got zapped with a neuralyzer and I got brainwashed into being a depressed college dropout?

I mean due to childhood amnesia, you cant even know if your birthday is your true birthday

Is your parents even your real parents?

What if I pissed off someone and then they build a time machine and came back to fuck with me?

How do you even defend against an enemy in your future?

Also dude you gotta tell me how many loops has it been. You are the main character right?
