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.

Will bring out the good biscuits, and heat up the kettle for us all.

This is not a shower thought. It's just a thought.

On Reddit I would be sarcastic, cheeky, blunt and arrogant. Only because everyone else is on there.

But here the community is nicer already. Even so, I want this place. to be a better place. So even if someone on lemmy is the above descriptors, I'll always be kind.

Imo there's no need for it to be "random." Just add to the discussion in a friendly, supportive way.

I had a date last night. It was great.

Tonight I plan on having a grape.

(My ex wife laughed when I told her this)

You're very wholesome OP, we need more people like you 😁

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Well I'm probably not the most wholesome person here, I just happened to get ~100 wholesome comments on this post
