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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Everyone acting like its okay to burn up teslas of uninvolved people because you disapprove of what Musk is doing. Then you should have no argument against pro-lifers burning down abortion clinics because they disapprove of what the doctors there are doing. Just saying.
Everyone acting like it's okay to throw eggs at billionaires' yachts because of wealth inequality. Then you should have no argument against rich kids throwing caviar at homeless shelters because they disapprove of being asked to share. Just saying.
What an infinitely stupid response. The proportion of rich people owning a Tesla with respect to all Tesla owners is vanishingly small. When you burn a Tesla of an uninvolved person, you are costing them tens of thousands of currency and are probably destroying their only car.
What is a straw man argument?
