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.

Probably by dying, but it's not worth risking it.

Nah dude. Love ya man. It will get better one day. I need you to so you can help me when I genuinely start falling apart. Totally selfish of me but I have faith that you're my hero and there is no going back without dragging me down too.

Was my joke so bad?

But seriously, everything will be fine.

Have you tried letting go of your attachments?

If you figure it out, do let me know.

Until then, thank you for posting stuff I can genuinely relate to and start conversations about. Even though that's probably not a sign of good mental health.
