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?

It's a necessary step. Sooner or later we are going to be one unified consciousness, and we need to learn to adapt, and accept that we have no privacy, and we need to learn to love each other more.

There is no stopping it.

It feels like fascist political leaders are pushing/rewarding this thing and at the same time making up all hate each other more...

You're correct. So we fight fire with fire. Spread happiness, reason, and wellbeing.

In the face of all the negativity and hate, we must bare it with a smile. That is our greatest weapon.
