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

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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
Posts must be original/unique

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.

The main difference I've noted so far between lemming and Reddit is that in lemming people seem to know when to write it's or its. (self.showerthoughts)

Why do you care? Why does anyone care? You understand what the person means, that's the most important thing when communicating. Grammar on the internet is so unimportant, even people who know the difference might not care enough to coerce autocorrect into choosing the right one.

If you can't type a text message with proper grammar then you can't type anything else either. It doesn't take almost any more effort to do it right. If your writing is full of mistakes you sound a bit stupid. You don't need to be perfect but you should atleast try.

Also the joke was that I incorrectly typed "its" there
