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.

That's how we sometimes introduce first-timers (usually kids) to the idea of riding, it's easier to balance especially in the taffic jams and isn't as dangerous for first-timers;
The space between and over two back wheels may be used for a motor, a battery and a place to put your luggage on.
They have a good marketable slogan already in the name, as they are Try-cycles.

You just need to design it to cool and\or professional so the rider won't be afraid of looking like a kid or a clown.

Pro and con: it's width is way more than that of a bycicle, but at the same time it gives a bit of wiggle space for your feet.

Don't be sorry, that's good that you are against commercial influx into our Fediverse communities. I hated it on reddit myself and I can get behind what you was thinking and why it triggered you. I just can't help myself by word it like it's an ad.

Future shower tip, avoid heavy buzzwords (promo, business, fear, etc). Showerthoughts typically sound like laid-back ideas since an actual shower is quite similar and relaxed.

Bicycle riding is relaxing and fun. I got that notion late after re-rereading the post.
