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.

They'd also be more famous and considered anti-heros, like the punisher, instead of cold blooded child murderers no better than the Epstein class.

In a similar vein, if you're trying to protest the power structures by looting and burning buildings and you see a 7-11, turn left. Keep turning left until you come across upscale detached residential buildings, with private drives and gates. Then resume the riot.

If you keep turning left, you're just going to go around and around in circles, LARPing NASCAR.

Everything else seems right. Do unto the rich what you would like to do unto ICE.
