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.

András István Arató is the real name for "Hide the Pain Harold", who is a Hungarian retired electrical engineer and model. Given his age and location, he probably read Jucika.

This is basically a showerthought for the 3 people that read the Jucika posts in !comicstrips@lemmy.world

Oh, ok. Sorry, I'll stop reading the future ones then, didn't realize all the slots were taken.

No no, I believe they meant all 3! of us. I think there's now room for one more :)

Those posts usually receive a load of upvotes, so I'm not following your logic very well.

🌈Self deprecation 🌈

It's self loathing, but in public and hopefully funny
