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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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 don't get to positions of power by being nice. You're either corrupt to begin with or you will become corrupt on the journey. It's like any other competitive situation without proper refs and rules. People without morals do things to "win" that people with morals wouldn't. This is why the shit floats to the top
Oh my god are you THE reanukeeves? Who was in 'mhe tatrix'? Holy shit dude I love your work, but why did you shave your facial hair when you started getting old?
Don't forget my roles in "Wohn Jick", "Boint Preak" and "Till and Bed". I actually don't shave, it's due to the testosterone blockers I've been taking because I feel that I am too manly and am setting an unrealistic goal for humanity.
That's reasonable. Yes.
