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 really wish I had the guts to dance. I'm afraid of dancing. I don't like dancing. I wish I liked dancing. I wish I could connect with people through dancing. Jeesh dancing is such an anxiety inducing topic to me... Wai... :(

Now let those feeling out through dance!

Also it is more about connecting with yourself and moving how feels good.

Well, if channeling negative energy through dance is a thing, then maybe I could give it another try. But I feel silly and embarrassed just by imagining it. :(

I mean you don't head bang cause you like the brain damage.

People mostly dance to get off emotions. The best ballet is when it is with a feeling behind it. Just watch the Olympics figure skaters during the gala when they get to perform however they want.

I enjoy doing jazz hands. I don't care if it looks silly.
