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.

Ok so how does a cancer kill its host?

It grows until it consumes so many nutrients that the other living cells don't get enough. The host literally starves even if he eats plentifully.

The same applies for the US: The billionaires are not only hoarding wealth, but by doing so they're crippling the economy for workers and everybody besides themselves.

Been saying it for years. Sadly there are too many at the bottom mesmerized by the elite propaganda telling them "you can also be like me, if you work hard", as if they earned billions that way without any dirty tactics along the way, and despite even with success still needing such tactics to take more and more.

The solution is radiation chemo therapy.

Drop the nukes.

How are you so brave to say something like this?

1st world culture makes them. Quit supporting that. We only have ourselves to blame. It’s time to own up to that fact.

You don’t need much of the things they market to you.

Most people aren't frivilously spending most of their money on things... Except maybe the rich, but most people don't have that much disposable income now do they?
