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.

Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people's brains. It is extremely powerful.

There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It's been happening for many years ... maybe centuries.

The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.

Motorbikes are only considered cool because of ~~propaganda~~ marketing.

I was going to disagree but not sure about cool. Bikes are fun to ride though. I miss mine.

Looks like you posted this twice so I’m replying twice :)

or you're just hanging out with your friends re-creating scenes from your favorite movies outside (or LARPing).

Alright, boys. Hear me out. You cut a hole on the inside of your pocket, put on your pants, then pull your penis through the hole so that it is emerging and/or hanging out of your pocket.
