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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Probably only in the same way cartoons made kids belief that gravity only takes affect when one looks to the audience. Most often, most kids won't transfer any of that to reality but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to do the Naruto run.

but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to ~~do the Naruto run~~ winning a Darwin award

Close, yes, but not quite there. I was that kid at our school.
