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.

I'm not into sports myself, but I hear a lot of people complain about predatory subscriptions to professional sport streaming servicies, intrusive gambling ads, etc. Organize free internet streaming of old broadcasts right as they enter public domain (50 years after broadcast in UK) and pretend they are going live, do discussion, bar cheering, all the things sports people do to entertain themselves, for free.

It's not just knowing the outcome, it wouldn't be nearly as fun of a viewing experience. The quality of play is often really bad by modern standards, to say nothing of the video and audio quality.

This is a big one. The games are going to look, and sound like shit. Good luck following a puck in an NHL game pre-HD.
