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 and the TOS

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.

A bunch of young white guys standing out front offering cheap IT services?

"I need 3 guys to help install a router."

The router is a Juniper MX960

I like working in those. JunOS seems to give the most helpful error messages compared to Cisco IOS or Nokia SR OS.

I used to cable them up or swap out PICs, never got a chance to try JunOS though.

Gotcha - we’re on opposite sides of the backplane, so to speak. I’m in the opposite position - I’m an IP tech and frequently coordinate with field techs to migrate our customers’ circuits between service routers, and I’ve never actually seen one of these in person.
