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.

That and pain. I didn't realize I was in pain my whole life until I had surgery for something else and they prescribed me Darvocet. Not only did I wake up feeling refreshed for the first time in my life, I found out just how much pain I've always been in. To the point where the surgery pain was nonexistent and I didn't have to take more than 2 of the pills through the entire recovery period and the second time was just to test my theory from the first.

I've had parts removed since and didn't bother with the pain meds after. It didn't hurt any more than the rest of me did. I'm not sure if I should be scared, worried, or proud of that.
