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 know the meaning of every lifeform but the meaning of human life is to overcome the struggle of life.... the irony. is that the "the pandas aren't fucking" moment for our evolutionary path?

Unfortunately boomers really hated so many of their kids that they're kids think thats what it is like to be parents.

Faith unfortunately did nothing to save the boomers, that dopamine treadmill effected that too and the idea "what's the point of a soul if no one ever dies?" Lingers in the mind.

We really do have a misanthropy problem in the west. Left and right agree they fucking hate people. They forget people is the sweet grandma, the goofy kid, the kind person who helped them once, the stocker that shelved their food, the HV/AC tech that worked to keep it frozen, etc etc etc. More people then the mind can comprehend make the best parts of our live and take care of those we love. We are part of that too.
