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.

Well there's some rules that contradict the other rules

Then they should write a better version

I've been working on it, but I'm not sure about how to handle the creation story. When reboots redo the hero's creation story, it starts to be a drag. However, the last time they rebooted, they kind of started in the middle, so maybe it's time to start again from the beginning.

Or maybe, we go pre-creation and see what God was up to beforehand?

A prequel could be quite interesting tbh

Really, there only needs to be one rule. Condense the book down to one page with the writing

And God's only commandment - Don't be a dick
