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:
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.
You're absolutely right, and I agree.
When I started learning the craft of roast comedy, this was drilled into me. You never ever ever punch down. Not under any circumstances. That makes you a bully. But punching up? That makes you a fucking hero. If you're going to roast someone, first you have to acknowledge that they are better than you in some way, and if you can't do that, you don't touch them.

Because...?
Like, if you have to be aggressive or violent, don't do it to those below you or less capable than you.
Oh metaphorically speaking, got it.
I just got confused because I'm quite tall so it seemed unfair.
No, not metaphorically. What they are saying is that you have to get in there with knees and elbows when dealing with the ~~lilliputians~~ normal people. There are so many more of them than us they will overwhelm you if you don't take them down hard and quick.
They will one day be a part of our infantry and help us behead the masters that once manipulated us.
You can't pull off a sweet uppercut by punching down.
But then I need to be sitting down to punch somebody in the dick…
Could do a split instead.
