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.

Made a typo, too late.

I'm using my IRL given name here. I like my Reddit username (and was kinda surprised it was not already taken), but it was kind of a mask.

i'm using my original reddit username on lemmy, it got shadow banned without explanation over a decade ago, so i created a different one which became my main account, now with over half a million comment karma, stopped writing stuff on that site 2 weeks ago

My preferred nickname was taken on Reddit, I had to use a lame one (~5-10 years ago when I was creating the account).

My obsessive personality dictates that however awesome the platform is, if I can't use netvor (without any suffixes etc.) I just don't ever really form any attachment to the platform. Normally traits like this are problematic but it probably saved me from shittons of hours of arguing with Someone wrong on the Internet, so there's the bright side. 🔆

I'm glad you got it here then :)

And I understand that haha; but the good side is that even if it would be taken on one instance, you could just go to a different one.
