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

Even if you don't do anything special, you could be the catalyst for someone else to do something special. (yiffit.net)

Just wondering about how my life could have touched someone else's and I realized this. Maybe you're just joking around online and mention something that triggers an idea in someone else that leads to revolutionary new things that impact humans everywhere. Even if you're forgotten, or uncredited, you had a meaningful contribution.

My neighbor from childhood told me their daughter took up guitar when she heard me and my friends playing music in my garage. She started a band, toured a chunk of the country for a few years after college.
