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.

Im one of those folks who rarely if ever remember dreams. If I have a great night of sleep it can feel like I did not sleep at all because it was like I had put my head down and then suddenly the alarm is going off and its the next morning. Don't have to worry to much about that the older I get though.

I also have long movie-like dreams and oftentimes they have sequels and I wake up remembering both the original and new dreams

They stay coherent for that long? My dreams can't keep a story line going, always running down rabbit holes.

My dreams usually have quite a long story line, except that I tend forget the previous plot points while it's still happening. Let alone when I wake up.
