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.

Which would be saying the truth. Which contradict itself.
No—if they were to ask you, you would lie and say “no”. So the claim that you’d make a true statement is still a lie.
No, it's a lie. They wouldn't say yes, so saying that they would say yes is a lie.
you don't need to say yes if someone asks you?
You won't have to lie to said question, but you'd have to tell the truth to do that... or that be a lie too... well, OC is partly right. But it isn't a surefire solution.
If your interlocutor end up asking you the question anyway, you either have to answer "yes", in which case OC told the truth and then you don't always lie, which means you lied to the answer (as you donlt always lie). Or you answer "No", which means you lied in OC, but told the truth as an answer.
Either way, there is no solution to this paradox. You cannot tell that you always lie without telling a truth.
