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.

MODERATORS
The moderator's opinion is better if the mod is deleting your racist comments.
OP's racist comment from the modlog, if you must read it:
Maybe I need a bit more coffee, but I read this as "Although I think I'm feeling like this, I don't like it, as it makes me feel a bit racist".
Is this a shower thought, or you bitching passive aggressively?
People have really lost the plot of this community.
op is having bitter thoughts in the shower
About being pulled up on their racism, no less
Why not both?
Self aware observation is self aware.
Sometimes we have to acknowledge our prejudices.
It makes it the only one that matters (in my community). 😌

Are you in the shower? Bcz it kinda seems like you're not.
I disagree.
Ah shit here we go again…
Yes it does, and I dare you to argue otherwise.

In fact it makes you a fence rider and a nincompoop.
Maybe.
It kinda does though. i.e. form your own community, put in the effort to keep it neat and tidy and make it how you like it, and then fend off people who want to come in and shit all over your parade without bothering to follow or likely even read the rules.
The very fact that you desire to post something to someone else's community in the first place is evidence of how much more their opinion should matter, by virtue of their hard work put into it. No we are not all the same at all.
That isn't a better opinion. It's just power.
