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 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.

And then all of them are "Nicole".
The Polish Partier.
I got mine today after a year on Lemmy. I was starting to feel left out.
i have a different pic in my inbox. do i suppose to collect them all? i want a rare Nicole now
I have them both, so... Yes?
I have none :(
Both? I have three. Are there more?
Oh shit there are three!
What's the att/def on your Nicole? I'll trade you mine - just pulled a disappearing Nicole. No idea what the att is, but given that it disappeared from my deck, I must imagine the def is wicked high
Oh she's using a new picture now?
I'll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later
Aww, I don't feel special anymore.
I guess I'm not special enough, Nicole doesn't want to talk to me.
I got a message from nicole with a pic. I thought it was a scammer or something. Just a one off thing. Is that not the case? Is Nicole a lemmy thing?
Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few specific spammers that almost everyone has run into on lemmy, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.
I have yet to be messaged by this person. Dunno what anybody is talking about. In fact, I've never actually been messaged by anybody on lemmy.
My first Nicole message was today. You'll join the club eventually.
I just got mine today, like some tribal initiation
Still haven't gotten one. Guess the bots don't like me.
You might have received one but we usually delete them pretty quickly. We're either doing an ok job at fighting spam, or I'm keeping her to myself.
Damn power hungry admins always keeping the sweet sweet bot ladies for themselves.

Gods please don't let this be a trend...
