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.

Ya gotta spend money to make money. You'll learn tips and trick like this in my online class. For only $1000 per class you too can be a wise billionaire. My 7 week course includes lessons on being rich, getting rich, and staying rich. If you pay an extra $4000 per class you can access the accelerated advanced course for super smart people.

I mean, that's technically true. If someone handed me 5 million, I could invest 4.5 million and live pretty comfortably for 5 to 10 years off the remaining 500k. In that time, the 4.5 million in the stock market would probably grow to around 9 million over 10 years. That's why it's difficult to get rich but easy to get richer.

This guy is trying to rip you all off.

My firm can do it in 3 weeks for $2000, and for an additional $8000 we’ll include our patented Knowledge Crystals which when placed under your pillow imparts the hyper advanced course while you sleep.

Knowledge crystals are an unproven technology. For only $9590 per week you can rent my proven knowledge smoothie maker. For the low price of $500 per knowledge smoothie mix pouch you can mix the learning right into your daily diet!

I know a lot of people don't see commercials anymore but I do and man the online gambling ones that suggest you are guaranteed to get rich if you play their game is just crazy. luckily its political ad season so they have been knocked off a bit.
