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.

It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. (lemm.ee)

Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

Fair enough. While you’re at it, add a no anime day and a no Linux day as well. Or are we only removing things you don’t like?

Not op but I’d be down for all three of those actually!

At that point it might be better to just have a designated anime, Linux, and politics day (or two).

OR! Categories that you can block, with mandatory category tags on each community and lying about the category results in perma-ban.

And no memes

Okay Buddy, this is where I draw the lines.

You can take my gun, but you can never take my memes!

[–] Anticorp 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And a no snark day!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Wouldn't you like that

Could it be 3 different days ? Because I don't want to spend one day per week staring at my walls
