Showerthoughts

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.

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

There's surely no chance he can win.. the last fortnight has been an utter shit show.. I can't see how it would even be a contest to be honest

I thought the same thing in 2016.

Then I drank so much I blacked out for two solid weeks

... Fuck, I'm like 60% sure I did the exact same thing.

I remember telling my (trump supporter) father the night before the election in 2016 something along the lines of: "You don't think this clown actually has a chance, do you?"

You said nothing this year, right? RIGHT!?

I haven't spoken to him since late 2021, so we're safe in that regard.

The fact that you said fortnight implies that you don't truly understand the animus of rural america

[–] misterdoctor 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I live in rural America and kids around here play fortnight all the time

Strangely enough for my post to get reported and removed by moderators

The last election was almost perfectly 50/50. It think it will be very close this year as well.
