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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
Just one more lane bro and we fix traffic, trust me.
Oh good. This is gonna be just like reddit. Things that are literally decades old.
Isn't reddit content just a reflection of people, and people also exist on this platform
well...stop that.
You aren't stuck on Reddit. You are the Reddit.
Oh....oh God...
Did you expect people would really change compared to how they acted on Reddit?
What's wrong with this post?
Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet.
Be the traffic you want to become.
Ahh, the Lemmy meme.
Nah, I am the main character. The world happens to me, get these NPCs out of my way.
Jesus Christ has come for his second resurrection, and his name is Intl
You aren't shitposting in Lemmy, you ARE the Lemmy!
So then what’s happening when I drive and there’s no traffic? Am I nothing???!
Youre never “nothing”… youre always something special! I promise :)
Example: when there is no traffic, youre still a noise & particulate generator that lowers property values, warms our planet, and makes the built environment more hostile/dangerous and depressing for everyone nearby.
Whew thank god. Who cares if I’m ruining everything as long as I exist!

Been working remote since onset of pandemic. Never going back to the office bro. Couldn't pay me enough to share the roads with the rest of the grinders.
So many hours wasted in traffic.
mmm yes, the traffic is made out of traffic
"I'm stuck in traffic" implies they aren't part of it but that it is something that is happening to them.
You're not stuck in it, you are it.
This is a Bill Burr bit.
They're not mutually exclusive states. You can be part of the traffic, but if you can't get out, you're still stuck in it. You're part of traffic but not stuck in it if and only if you have the opportunity to exit the traffic experience.
Now I'm stuck in the damn traffic that I've helped damn create. Dammit!
No wonder I hate myself.
