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.

Fe rusts.

This unoriginal idea hit me when I was washing my hair.

okay but I say fedi-verse (deceptively) like a normal person

If it was a song there'd be a fedi-verse

I say "Fetty verse" when I'm talking about a few lines from the song Trap Queen

聯合宇宙 - Federated Universe

or 聯宇 for short?

sounds too similar to 亂雨 in Cantonese with a different tone, Chaotic Rain.

Okay I'm gonna call this Chaotic Rain instead of Fediverse. Make sense, with so much "nicole" spam and even recently there are LLM-bots posing as people. Just like in a chaotic rain-storm, because this is essentially what the fediverse is, millions of droplets (users) forming puddles (instances) and eventually flowing into rivers (federation).

Hey, you can even shower in this "Chaotic Rain", a true "Showerthought", xD

I can dig it. I love layered wordplay in any language.
