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.

He's a senile old man with shits for brain and was told by his insane advisors that he needed it.

He wants Greenland because it cuts Europe's access to Canada

You give him too much credit. If a toddler can reason something it's above his level of understanding.

Don't be daft. He thinks Atlantis is that Aussie singer who did that song about having loads of spoons

Atlantis was the name of one of his favourite child sex victims. He "has to have it".

He heard that Greenland is where cross-eyed bears live.

I really like to believe, he's blissfully unaware of the scale being completely off, because of map projection distortion. But it's HUGE, it's bigger than the United States!
