I just wanted something kinda nifty, but ultimately forgettable. I think I succeeded.
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:
- 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.
I kept the same name.
Same. I always wanted to change my username but seven years later I just can't.
My time has…come.
You're 8 days too late for me, mate!
I'm using my IRL given name here. I like my Reddit username (and was kinda surprised it was not already taken), but it was kind of a mask.
I got my original username back.
Same, I've had this handle since 1993, and after the clothing company opened I don't often get it without numbers on the end.
Yea I had an automatic username with a nazi associated number and I could not change the username.
Anyways instances have strict inspections on registrations before approving, especially the username. If the username is inappropriate, just create a different username.

I’m happy my name was still available.
I like to have a consistent identity.
Too late 😔
I used my real first name (15 year old account) so I'll be glad to finally use a fictional name
No regrets!
