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
- 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.

How exactly are they evolving if you kill them? Surely the ones you don't kill evolve 🤔
Exactly, I kill the slowest, leaving the fastest to breed.
Counter: you’re killing the ones that like the taste of a human and thus they’ll evolve to avoid humans.
We need this system institutionalized for humans. Except instead of slowest, we just kill the assholes.

Oh, I see we've already started! Pardon me! I was a tad behind the news.
That's pretty hard to do. Just consider the executioners: everyone that wants that job is an asshole as they want to kill other people and would have to be killed themselves. And if you make somebody be the executioner that doesn't want to do it (a not asshole), then the people forcing them to do it are assholes as they are forcing somebody to be an executioner against their will!
