Showerthoughts

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.

You are one of the only people to give me a link and resource to actually use. I am not against learning something but I dont give a fuck about upvotes.

I can't control the reaction but I can hate that most people didnt actually interact with more than looking for a feeling of superiority. If that's the only emotion they want then I dont want to participate.

I learned long ago to accept constructive criticism and move on. I always have the knee-jerk reaction of getting offended, but then I think twice, and I shrug it off. We can't each know everything about everything.

BTW, grammar is effing hard to get right, and the internet and the reality of text messaging has really cemented some bad habits and misconceptions.

For the record, I don't fault you at all for "incorrect" use of punctuation. I just didn't really get the premise of the post, and I'm a pedantic troll by nature, so here we are.
