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.

Should I have? Is this an autistic thing to wonder?

If you do, and want her to know, then yes say it.

Does she say it to you?

My family never really said it to each other. It just wasn't normalized. Then one day I started thinking I may not have them around forever and I wanted to tell them. So I did. Mostly "love you, bye" when ending a call. And they were a little weirded out at first, but said it back. Now if I wait a beat before saying it, they'll say it first!

I don't like to say it to anyone but my partner and my kids.

I like to show it though. And let's be honest, does saying it really mean that much, if you don't show it?

It depends entirely on how you both communicate. I haven't said it to my sister either and didn't realise before reading your post. It's all fine as long as you have a good relationship.

If you love her then yeah you should tell her. You never know what tomorrow holds
