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.

Isn’t the UK also notorious for assuming it is the center of the world?

We were. Because we were. But those days are very much over.

I wouldn’t be so sure it’s just a “were” thing. You and I may have a more humble view of our homelands but I think we’ve both got to accept that there are some awfully myopic idiots residing in both of our states.

Oh hell yes. But you get people like that everywhere.

I(German) can agree(sadly).

Hahaha.

Nah pommy fucks still act like the Empire exists all the time.

That would be the ones that shot us all in the face with brexit

At least I can take solace in the fact that Donny never won the popular vote. Still entirely too many fools voting for the obvious wannabe autocrat though

Don't really appreciate the pommy remark there skippy

But yea, that happens. I meant the Empires over, not that some people refuse to believe it.
