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.

School spends a long time "wasting" our time but learning things is a great way to learn how to interpret information and make actual informed decisions

When I started uni, there was a special "how to learn" class that everyone took on their first semester. It was just a refresh of how to cite sources, fact check, take efficient notes, and proper time management. Absolutely would have failed without it since I was one of those kids that breezed through highschool without much effort.

I'm proud of them for not giving that a cringe acronym like JUMP, BOOST, EXCEL, or, oh gosh, LEARN. 😵‍💫

Damn that sounds useful

That's a good idea for ALL colleges.
