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.

Also: The people don't change. The pool of people your age that you could meet doesn't change, it only gets smaller.

I see "your age" similar to the dating pool. It grows the older you get. When I was young my brother and his friends were incredibly old. But nowadays they are "my age". I mean, my wife was literally born four days after my brother. That alone increased "my age".

And when I look at the other parents I meet at my kid's schools "my age" is an even bigger group. Add hobbies to that and it's off the chart.

Oh yeah that's true as well. Like it's more accepted when a 60 year old dates a 50 year old than when a 30 year old dates a 20 year old. It's the same gap, but more frequently seen. That's the thing with cumulative numbers!! The more they go up the smaller the ll% difference in

My first date was terrible. First, my date was hard to reach. Couldn't call her up or anything.. as she had no phone... So we had to talk the old fashioned way... face to face.. and even when I talked to her, she would never reply... like she was giving me the cold shoulder or something... I thought it was because she was shy, and I thought she was sweet at first, but when I reached in the bag, I picked her up and took a bite, I found there was a huge nasty pit in the middle. Then I realized she wasn't a she, "she" was just an ordinary date. From now on, I'm sticking to prunes!
