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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

At this point, I'm wondering if there is enough of a quantity of raspberry berets in secondhand stores to identify the kind you would find in one.

Technically, a military surplus store could be considered a second hand store. What militaries use berets that could be considered "raspberry" in colour?

Yeah, but they're a fairly specific shade of red. I wouldn't call, for example, a dark scarlet beret 'raspberry.'

This comes up when I search for 'raspberry color,' which I'd call about right.

I'd say that's a close approximate of raspberry, but only if you're shining light through it.

Aside of yourself, would anybody else genuinely notice the difference in shades? Especially if another one was not present for comparison.

I'm guessing if Prince had felt that the shade didn't matter, the song would have been "Red Beret."
