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
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.

Yes! I love my work, even though most people hate retail. I'm in a grocery store deli, and getting people food they like and them coming back saying I offered good recommendations just makes my day!
I'm the manager, and even I still struggle a bit with money at times, all the while trying to save for a house. Not easy out here, but certainly wouldn't want to stop working.
Most people hate retail cause the conditions suck. If you could comfortably live while working retail. If the benefits and pay were more aligned to office jobs, your boss wasn't usually a sociopath who has no remorse for having you come in while sick, and you got treated with genuine respect, it wouldn't suck. But shit bosses and entitled customers make the job suck no matter the pay or benefits which are usually not enough to even rent a room on
