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

When I was around 8 years old, I lost a new issue of Nintendo Power in a Service Merchandise store. That may be the most aged statement I've ever made.

Anyway, this was a very distressing experience for me; my disappointment and loss of hope sticks with me to this day. I vividly remember dreaming about finding it some time after. However, in my dream I recall flipping through the pages only to find garbled nonsense, page after page.

This was actually more distressing to my confused, young mind. I don't even try to read in dreams anymore, but maybe I should; it would be a dead giveaway.

I still miss that issue. It was the Dr. Mario issue for anyone wondering.
