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 realize it won't be like this forever, but while scrolling Lemmy I eventually come to a point when I start to see a lot of old posts and it's a perfect signal that I've done more than enough scrolling for the day

Also, the level of civility and intellect in the comments is relatively high.

Fuck you! No it isn't you moron.

Wow! I want to upvote, downvote and report you at the same time. Kudos!

In the end all i did was leave this lousy comment

I was going to downvote it too but now I can't.

Don't worry I downvoted you so the legacy can continue.

I'm pretty sure that Mulan was a great heroine. Also I think you were using the wrong language.
