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.

And why the thread about cooking for one's self is full of people that think cooking food is a fancy, out of reach dream only for wealthy land owners or something, and that ordering Door Dash chicken tendies is a good use of money that only the most clever Poors know about.

With depression it can be hard to work up the will to cook sometimes. But when I do, I make a significant batch of food that's tastier and more nutritious than what I can order out. As well people seem to over estimate the cost of produce though I know some live in food deserts who don't have a lot of access to it.

But what if you're depressed and can't afford chicken tenders from door dash?
