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.

Dog and cat are probably under the bed and in the closet waiting until I'm asleep to demand to be let out. Hubs and I do sweeps for them when we put each other to bed (he arranges my sleep environment in the morning, I arrange his in the evening). Doesn't matter when I'm working for the night because he can just sleep with the door open but we need to be able to close the doors when I'm going to bed for the day or when I'm home for the night so I don't wake him up just by doing things. And they always wake up an hour or so in and decide they NEED. FOOD. RIGHT. NOW. LET. ME. OUT.
