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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I hate to break this to you, but there's only 43 people on lemmy at all. We're all just pretending to be everyone, including you.

You aren't you at all, you're a constructed personality inside someone's mind with a lifetime of false memories and a thin veneer of "free will" to give you the illusion of being a real person.

And of those 43, 42 are just multiple rats sharing a trenchcoat.
