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.

Or we could free Luigi, and get the real thing!

But Luigi is innocent

Luigis Mansion: A TV show about a mansion filled with kidnapped billionaires. Sprinkle some inspiration from the Saw movies on top, and we've got a hit.

That's a good idea for a 'dystopian' thriller book

Current world record holder on the highscore

No I believe that title goes to Mao or Lenin

This is why I now advocate for a Mamdani/Mangione 2028 presidential ticket.

I know he can't run for president right now but, maybe we can break the rules for the benefit of the people some day.

That's crazy, Americans would never vote in someone accused of such serious crimes right? A suspected felon could never be in the White House, that would be unthinkable!

We may need to rewrite the constitution before this is all over anyway.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

This would go so hard

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

I mean......yes?

I'd vote for that.
