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.

Saw a post on the Canada community and basically was just talking about how this guy is Joe and it would be good if he was replaced by someone like Harris and even better if it was someone like AOC. I've seen similar stuff on the Aussie communities. It's interesting that American politics is so well known it's easier to convey information about local politics as analogies to American politics

That's because the United States is the centre of the known universe where all good things originate .. obviously.

Disclaimer: This is sarcasm, but since there's entitled yanks in this part of the Internet, this disclaimer is required, since neither sarcasm, nor humour translates well for some..
