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.

If you can't do Good, only harm others, that's a Skill Issue (self.showerthoughts)

It can take a dozen people, a dozen hours and a lot of effort to create and provide something good for your community and those closest to you, but it takes just one person and a moment to bring it all down.

So, there is no merit in doing wrong, doing harm, even the most foolish and incapable can do it. But doing good? creating? helping? healing? It requires effort, cooperation and commitment.

Think that, whoever you see doing something despicable, does it because he is incapable of doing anything else.

Agreed.

I often think about this with regards to superpowers. If one knew everything, and could do anything, then there is no reason to smash. Little nudges would be all that is necessary. Bad guys pants fall down, their gun jams, the getaway car breaks down in a remote area... The opportunities are endless.

Nah man, if there's one thing I learned from Arnold Palmer, it's that there's no point in having a big dick if you aren't gonna wave it around.
