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.

I don't think I got it, please explain for the slow kids in the back?

Since both this guy's responses are still not very clear, he's saying that older couples who have nude pictures/ videos of each other from when they were younger will eventually want more "recent" material to better represent the person they love now, rather than the person they loved then.

Danke! And yes, @Krauerking@lemy.lol , I agree, it is a sweet expression of love. 👍

Sure you can live in the dream of a perfect past. Or you can accept the wrinkles and changing reality of what you love and keep enjoying even as it is changing when you think about what you love.

Or what you think of in your past with what you love, you keep doing in the now you to enjoy it again and get a fresh memory.

Also if it is spank bank getting you, that is a euphemism for place you store memories that make you more tingly than normal good.
