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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Why do you care? Why does anyone care? You understand what the person means, that's the most important thing when communicating. Grammar on the internet is so unimportant, even people who know the difference might not care enough to coerce autocorrect into choosing the right one.
If you can't type a text message with proper grammar then you can't type anything else either. It doesn't take almost any more effort to do it right. If your writing is full of mistakes you sound a bit stupid. You don't need to be perfect but you should atleast try.
Also the joke was that I incorrectly typed "its" there
