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.

Could I really know what you believe in and what flavour of upright (or immoral, but I believe people were made "good" so why expect differently?) you are by having a passing knowledge of your exes? I guess if I asked your exes everything about you, maybe, but that assumes they're unbiased sources of information and, c'mon, lol. Or what your political (a derivation of ethics) views are? Or what your triggers and coping mechanisms are? I mean, we could get along no matter what kind of music you listen to/fast food you order, but other stuff like being a violent neo Nazi would evidently bring some friction to our friendship!

I doubt you're as vacuous as you think (certainly more than a collection of products you consume, right?), don't sell yourself short. 😉
