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: 1
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.
my kids have a pretty good grasp that i'm also just finding my way in the world, and that it's okay.

Yeah, there's a balance of "I'm not perfect, but I will always be here to look out for you" that has to be struck. Too far one way and the moment you break, the kids are gonna be scared and confused at what's happening. And too far the other puts the responsibility on the child to take on a parent role (and believe me when I say that fucks you up)
