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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are. (self.showerthoughts)

Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

Friend of mines teen daughter did something similar. She posted on Instagram that she was at home, bored, fml, and all that. Sadly, some of her friends posted from the party. With her tagged.

"OMG SHOTS WITH #STACY!!! BFF AND JDC!!!"

Like, pictures of her and everything. Her dad made her write 100 times, "I need better friends" as part of her punishment, lol.

When I had to write sentences in elementary school I learned a pro tip from my Dad. Tape 4 pencils together and write 4 lines at a time. Works great!
