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.

NOT POLITICAL NOT TARGETED AT ANY GROUP JUST A FUNNY, THOUGHT

I had this shower thought the other day. As the advancement of modern games and the complexities they have, we should require anyone in charge of leadership of a city, state, national level to play a game like City Skylines.

This is due to the amount of complexity and foresight one must have to navigate, build, and develop their cities people, infrastructure, etc...

This can help show if someone can even get their population happy, and above 100k, or if they put their sewer system upstream and pollute all of their people. If they do great then awesome, but if they don't .....well.... then they probably aren't the best fit.

What other games would be a good test or a fun test to see how they do?

Again.... funny random thought... not politically targeted...

I would settle for any territory based real time strategy game just to show they understand how simple econonic models work.
