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.

Anyone else remember then being the cool new thing instead of a mandatory one?

We had one of those big green screen TVs. I remember when we threw it out so the kids gathered to hit it with a bat. It could not break! Even with a hammer that front part of the screen was intact. Crazy thick glass and all.

Yeah, I could not do anything to this thing either. The worst I ever managed to do was put a scent brick that came in a tin can directly on top of it and it melted a hole in part of the housing.

I miss putting your hand on those and feeling all your hair rise
