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.

This was my best showerthought I left on reddit. I didn't want to leave it into the oblivion.

Yeah but most knives aren't actively plotting your demise.

With cats, it seems more of a chaotic/reactive, but same results.

My second irrational fear is cats are quite literate and can read all this.

Note: if your knife begins plotting the demise of you or any other person, the best course of action is to assume your rightful place as an avatar of destruction.

Congrats! Your knife is now an SCP. Please find a class d personnel and have them interact with your knife. If it kills them, please elevate a mobile task force delta, such as MTF Delta-5 to properly contain your knife
