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.

That's such a small number. I bet there might be one or two near you even. You can just Google it!

You make it sound like they live on the moon. While there might be no easy "law abiding" way to get to them, this doesn't exactly sound like a law abiding conversation.

Exactly. I PROMISE the average reality for these folks is not what you imagine. I've seen it, too. But that $4,000/night beach resort was still just on the fucking beach, easy to access with like 3 minutes of walking. They still go out in public, they're not all being escorted by Secret Service. It almost feels like they've succeeded in convincing everyone they're untouchable when they're so not.
