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.

I implore Mr Anthony Albanese to use this opportunity to annex new Zealand. The Australian economy NEEDS those sheep.

Some quotation marks would do your title a lot of favors.

I don't think China was stopping the US from taking Cuba to begin with.

Ah the Aussies can't even win against a bunch of emu, we could have taken Australia already, but what would we do with it? It's full of Aussies

I know you aussies have that law that allows us kiwis to join you as another state of Australia, but I hope you know just how fucking impossible it is for that to ever happen
