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.

Do I despise them more when they insist in this failed narrative? Also yes.
And the people that can't seem to talk in any other way? They're the worst.

I hate rhetorical answers more, that is to say, when someone answers something nobody fucking asked them.

Do I feel superior to them with my little snarky post? You bet!

So you think jaywalkers should be jailed! So much for the tolerant communists.

Oh but please, by all means, will you tell us your thoughts on sarcastic commenters that contribute nothing but also answer their own questions?
I know you want to!

Did I see the winter storm warning? Yes.

I'm I preparing in any way? No.

Will I regret my choice? Maybe.
