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.

Can sing or just use as a musical instrument. Violently shake for a tiny bit of vibrato.

I'm not sure what research you have done, but you should find some. There are things that make your a better signer short term but will ruin your voice long term. I'm not really an expert in this so I'll just leave you with the warning to get some advice from someone who is trained if you haven't. (What you shared so far seems okay, but I don't know what else you are doing)

My suggestion is what will protect your voice in the long run.

Actually singing well loudly, and safely, requires you to move the air over your vocal cords very fast, which isn't something most people do intuitively.

But singing quietly with good tonal quality also requires a ton of fast moving air, and won't work without it. By making that muscle memory, you can then safely sing loudly.

Breath control is crucial to any wind instrument, voice included.
