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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

Yeah, I'm echoing the sentiment.

I ain't mad at anyone making money as best they can in the system we're stuck in.

But it shouldn't be everywhere. Some communities/subs are about people just sharing that they feel like, no ulterior motives at all. If that's not what you're doing, you shouldn't be there

it's supply/demand. there's much more cameras and people online than 10-20 years ago, so the supply is plenty. people paying for this content is much more mysterious to me. why would I ever do that?!

There's a reason the original reddit community banned sales pitches, and took themselves off /r/all.

People making content for NSFW subreddits makes sense to me now that there's good money to be made.

I didn't really understand the motivation before when so many people made regular content for internet strangers for nothing. Especially when so many of the comments are so sleazy and rapey.

Exhibitionism. It's hot and fun when people get to see you be sexual

If you don't understand it, then that probably just means you're not into exhibitionism, but many people (including myself) are

It was for horni. Never underestimate the power of horni.

I'm one of the people still posting quite high cuality content of myself online for completely free (I'm a guy) I do it because I'm exhibitionist. I like being seen in minimal clothing in public as well, this is just a variation of that.

It’s just hit me. Reddit is gonna start putting stuff behind a paywall, this will 100% be porn and OC creators might get paid, OF style, cause so many “advertise” on Reddit…why not cut out the middle man? Or I’m bonkers.

not even a face is attached to the body

Posting pictures of your face on clear net is stupid in 2025.
