Showerthoughts

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.

Alright alright

Or maybe...

We assume that everyone does the same things as us in an attempt to normalize our own toxic behavior, instead of realizing that's not normal and correcting it.

Just to be clear, I didn't mean that as an attack or insult. I've seen some of the other things that you've been posting, and it sounds like you're not in a good place right now.

We all have things we can't control, but a lot of times we don't realize how we may be sabotaging ourselves.

Changing some of your own habits may help you deal with your own reality in a better way.

Best wishes to you, I hope things get better

Thanks. I can be toxic but things are confusing.
