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.

People that tuck in their shirts creep me out

I will never understand how tucking in your shirt won out as the standard of professional dress. It's impractical and uncomfortable. Can we just like change this?

I've already started. They're not going to fire me over shirt tucking; my bosses are happy I'm even showing up in meatspace. And if we can get everyone's shirts back, who knows what's next?

Kinda looks weird if you're wearing a tie and you don't.

How about people who tuck in their jackets? Not enough people have seen this clip IMHO. How coked out do you even have to be to tuck in your jacket?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=w5_EIikdFr8&ab_channel=Valhalla80s

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Which is better? Piped, or PeerTube?

It only makes sense in a professional/formal setting

Some people find it more comfortable than hanging fabric.
