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.

Mine is just about as boring as possible: "Grey Wolf" 🤦

If we go with my Lemmy name, though, i'd say that Graceful Red is a pretty good nickname for a 1950s lounge singer 😄

Grey Red. What the fuck?

At least yours isn't ultra-cringe due to negative connotation...

I thought you were doing alright!

Well. We had a good run. May your next relationship last a bit longer.

Lol gdi I showed my friend this over a decade ago and she would call me Beautiful Vixen for years just to annoy me. ... I should send it to her again.

My dog name would be pillow, because she loves laying on me.
