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.

Failing to plan is like planning to fail.

Love your name. Buddy of mine said if I was ever a magician my name would be The Great Sarcasmo.

Ummm, what? Spell check? Or Great Scarcasmo definitely missing the Sarcasmo connection.

Some people, not all people.

Robert Murray Smith did it. He didn't leave a how-to. That man was hurting for love. Not for the science he loved, but because he lost the woman that filled his world with love. That bastard was always determined and driven. No barrier was going to keep him away from her.

Its not a good idea to just end it like that. You can always find someone who wants to share their life with you.
