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.

Enough with the spammy questions. I'm not going to convince you and vice versa, and nobody is reading because the conversation has moved on. Good night.

[…] I’m not going to convince you and vice versa […]

First, I try to stay open to other people's opinions. Second, I simply wasn't sure what your comment was referring to — I was hoping that you could clarify what you meant.

Spamming wasn't my intention. All of my comments have been made in good faith. At any rate, questions seeking clarification or elaboration wouldn't be necessary if you weren't engaging in conjecture — which is rather ironic given the topic of this post.

Well, given the current votes on your comment ^[1]^, I'd argue on the contrary.
