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:

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
  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.

We like things cold, we like things hot, We eat raw food, we eat cooked food. We want to fly like birds, swim like fish, dig like moles, climb like goats. Spiciness is supposed to be a defense system of plants to avoid being eaten and yet we still eat them. Alcohol is literally a poison that clouds our senses and yet we drink it. Pain is a pleasure for masochists. We jump from impossible heights for fun. We listen to music, watch movies, read books that deliberately make us sad. Many of us can't help but watch news or content that makes us angry, some watch disgusting videos for pleasure. The Horror genre is one of the most loved genres in any medium. Both singles people and couples love to hear, watch, read about love.

There is no feeling, situation or state that even one of us wouldn't want to experience at least once.

The fact is that we love to live... But only if it is our choice to do so.

You either get busy living or get busy dying.

That quote has stuck with me for a long time.
